-Add 1/4 cup of bourbon and cook for 1 minute and allow most of the bourbon to evaporate.

-Add flour, thoroughly mix with the sausage and veggies. Stirring constantly so the flour doesn't stick or burn on the bottom of the pot.

-Cut an "X" in the top of each pie to allow the steam to vent.

-Place the pot pies in the preheated 400 degree oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the pastry is a beautiful golden brown.
