Notes

You can put anything you like in this pie. One thing to note is that the veggies need to be cooked. If they are raw, they will cook in the oven and release their juices and make the crust soggy. I didn’t add salt or pepper to this as I found the meats and cheeses gave the dish enough seasoning. As well, I found the fat from the sausage was enough for frying all the veggies. If needed, you can always add a bit of olive oil.
