Curried Sausage with mushrooms
Total preparation time: 2 1/2 hrs
Serves: 14Ingredients:
- 5 pounds mild bulk pork sausage
- 3 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 4 teaspoons curry powder
- 2 cups half and half
Steps:
- In large skillet slowly brown and cook and break up sausage, draining grease as it accumulates. This is the longest step in the process - be sure to cook and nicely brown the sausage - not burn it. Drain sausage in a collander.
- Saute mushrooms in the same frying pan.
- Place sausage into two glass pie dishes. Place mushrooms on top of sausage.
- Melt butter in small saucepan. Stir in flour and curry powder, heat until bubbly. Gradually stir in half-and-half and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and slightly thick (if too thick, add a little half-and-half.) Pour sauce over sauge and mushrooms. Arrange pepper strips on top.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes, or until bubbly. (note - this may be prepared ahead except for baking then frozen until needed. Defrost and the bake.)
