Welcome to My Life and My Journey

Join me on the ride of my life

Breakfast Pot Pie

  • 12 oz low fat sausage
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 cups shredded hashbrowns
  • 5 oz evaporated whole milk
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 2 cup 1% milk
  • 2 tbsp butter flavored spray (I Can't Believe It's Not Butter)
  • 1 pkg reduced fat crescent rolls

(***Use an oven safe skillet)  Scramble all eggs in skillet.  Remove eggs and wipe skillet clean.  Cook sausage in skillet.  Bake hashbrowns in a single layer on a baking sheet at about 375 degrees.  I sprayed them with Butter Flavored Pam spray to help them crisp. When sausage is finished remove sausage but leave any drippings in the pan.  Add butter flavored spray to drippings.  Turn heat off.  Add flour to create a rue (which will thicken gravy).  SLOWLY add evaporated milk to flour paste.  This might take a couple of minutes.  The slower you add it the less likely you are to have lumps.  Then SLOWLY add the 1% milk.  Once all the milk has been added bring to a rolling boil and stir constantly to avoid burning or scortching.  Boil for 1-2 minutes.  Then remove from heat and stir in all ingrediants.  Add back to heat and set on a medium low setting and reheat all ingrediants this way.  Once the whole pot is warmed place unfolded cresent rolls on top of dish and place in the oven (375 degrees) until the crust has browned.  Normally this takes about  10-13 minutes.

6 servings at 8 points per serving  OR smaller servings:::  8 servings at 6 points each

***Cut back on the sausage and one egg to save some points.  The evaporated milk might be able to be skipped or changed to skim evaporated milk.  The evaporated milk does make the recipe creamier.
