How to Make Make Ahead Flaky Sausage Foldovers

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until thoroughly cooked. Drain well.
3. Stir in garlic powder and 1/4 cup of the pizza sauce.
4. Unroll one pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Roll it out slightly to a 15-inch circle (if needed).
5. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 11 circles. Repeat with the second pie crust.
6. Place about 1 teaspoon of the sausage mixture onto the center of each circle.
7. Fold each circle in half to form a half-moon shape. Press edges firmly to seal.
8. Using a fork, crimp the edges to seal completely.
9. Cut a small slit in the top of each foldover with a sharp knife.
10. Place the foldovers on an ungreased large baking sheet.
11. Brush each foldover with the beaten egg.
12. (Optional) Cut decorative shapes from any remaining dough scraps and attach with beaten egg.
13. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until golden brown.
14. While the foldovers bake, heat the remaining 1/4 cup pizza sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
15. Serve warm sausage foldovers immediately with the warm pizza sauce for dipping.
16. **To Make Ahead:** Follow steps 1-3. Freeze the unbaked foldovers on the baking sheet until firm, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 2 months. To bake from frozen, add about 5 minutes to the baking time.
