Recipe #9 O'Flanagan's Sausage Supper

When you have 60 pounds of sausage, you go looking for recipes that use sausage. In Mom's recipe box I found O'Flanagan's Sausage Supper. The recipe card has lots of splatters and a side note. I do remember her making this one. I didn't have instant potatoes so I made mashed potatoes. I didn't have any apples so I used a little bit of applesauce. The applesauce made the gravy a little sweet so I added soy sauce in place of salt and to deepen the color. Although I cut the recipe in half, I did not cut back on the amount of bouillon (used my chicken stock, bouillon would make this dish too salty.) Lenny's got to have lots of sauce, especially if the dish involves potatoes! This week I also made a pork roast cooked with sauerkraut, one to use up the sauerkraut from the Super Bowl party, two to give a nod to Lenny's mom. He did call his sister and confirm that she does have an old recipe box of his mother's. I'm curious to compare the recipes of his and my mother to see if there are any similarities in style, ingredients, and taste.

O'Flannagan's Sausage Supper

1 lb. pork sausage (link or bulk) form patties of bulk
2 apples, pared & sliced
2 onions, peeled & sliced
1 Tb. Flour
Salt & pepper
1 cup bouillon (cube or powder)
2-3 cups hot instant mashed potatoes (1 pk. 4-5 servings)

Fry sausage till crisp. Drain it, then put in a baking dish. In remaining fat cook apples and onions, then spoon them over the sausage. Pour off all but a tablespoon of the fat now, and brown the flour in it. Add salt, pepper, and bouillon, stir till it's a bit thicker, and pour it over the sausage mixture. Top with potatoes. Bake 15 min. Uncovered at 350*. Serves 4-5

(Mom's note: Right good - uses too many pans (3) apples didn't seam to add anything - try without.)
