Does anyone have any good recipes that use country sausage and some other inexpensive and basic ingredients?

Question

My mother in law gave me a package of country sausage it's weight is about 1 3/4 lbs. I just wondered if anyone had any good recipes for a sauce I could put on it or how to give it some more flavor or anything. I've never had it before and when she told me to cook it she said just put it in a skillet with some water and keep goin till it gets brown.

I forgot to add it's one big link, in the casing. :)

Answer 1

Biscuits and gravy typical southern breakfast
Sausage Gravy




1C flour

2C milk

1Lb ground sausage—Jimmy dean or country sausage work fine whatever suits you is the right sausage.




Crumble the sausage and cook until well done. Remove the sausage and leave the grease. Keeping the heat on the pan at a little above medium heat, add the flour a bit at a time to make a good brown roux. Back the heat off. Now, add the milk slowly and bring almost to a boil, and add the sausage back in. Simmer at a very, very low heat . If the gravy thickens too much before serving, bring the heat back up and add a Little milk at a time until the right consistency is reached (i.e., one you like).




Serve the sausage gravy over separated biscuit top n bottom halves(make from scratch or use canned biscuits). Scrambled eggs work good with it too.I also use sausage in my spaghetti sauce it gives it a nice flavor when you add it to the ground beef

I hope you enjoy these two recipes..

Sausage Stuffing-Add 1/2 pound of browned, crumbled sausage to any store bought stuffing mix. Cook as directed on the box. My family loves it. I sometimes just serve this with a salad.

Sausage Balls- These are neat treats and also great party snacks. Put 1 pound of sausage in the bottom of a large mixing bowl. Add 1 3/4 cup bisquick or other baking mix to the sausage using a strong fork or your fingers. Once mixed, add 1/2 pound grated cheddar cheese. Roll the mixture in small balls. You can freeze them in ziploc bags or bake them in a 350 oven for 7-10 minutes.

Creole Stuffed Chicken Breasts

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 pound smoked sausage, sliced thinly
1/2 pound fresh button mushroom
3 tablespoons chopped green onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
4 tablespoons blue cheese salad dressing, divided
3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon Cajun-style seasoning

DIRECTIONS:
1. To Make Stuffing: Brown sausage in a large skillet over medium high heat; once sausage starts to brown, add mushrooms and saute for 5 minutes, then add green onion and garlic and saute for another 2 minutes. Remove stuffing mixture from heat, put in a food processor and add 1 tablespoon salad dressing. Process slowly in processor, roughly chopping.
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
3. Cut 2 inch slits in sides of chicken breasts and stuff with as much stuffing as breast will hold. Season both sides of breasts liberally with Cajun-style seasoning and sear in a hot skillet for 1 to 2 minutes per side, then place in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with leftover stuffing and remaining 3 tablespoons salad dressing.
4. Bake at 375 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

Answer 5

If its loose sausage (not in a casing) then do this.

Saute it with a some diced onion and garlic. Add some olive oil to taste...then add a can of tomato paste and stir it up. Finish it with some fresh grated parmigian or any other white gratable cheese
If you want it pink add some heavy cream and simmer a bit
add any spices you wish to try of course

Toss this with some farfalle (bowties)

You will enjoy it

don't add any water....brown it in a large skillet, add a dash or two of pepper to taste.....remove sausage from pan, but don't drain all the good grease...add a tablespoon of margarine or butter heat on med, then add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of flour....cook until it gets nice and brown and looses the raw flour taste....then add about one or two cups of milk....continue cooking until it gets thick...add the sausage back into pan..bingo you have sausage gravy...pour over toast or biscuits and enjoy.
