Full Service: Sausage & Potatoes

Last week for slave's birthday Master Indy and Per gave me the book “Full Service”! Fascinating real life account of Scotty Bowers. One would have assumed he was a typical WWII GI working at a gas station in Hollywood. Little did they know he quickly became the “go to” guy to satisfy the varied sexual appetites of tinsel town! I wanted to acknowledge the gift and dedicate this dish to Scotty Bowers, a man who was all sausage & potatoes and oh so much more!


Last night slave failed at an attempt for a complicated meal. So tonight a super easy great tasting dish you can serve right out of the skillet.


Ingredients

1 box (4.7 oz size) au gratin potatoes
2 1/3 cups hot water
2/3 cup milk
1 cup frozen green beans
5 bratwurst, cut into 1-inch pieces
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese (2 ounces)

Directions





  • Cut and brown the bratwurst – set aside on a paper towel lined plate.


  • Stir together Potatoes, Sauce Mix, hot water and milk into the same skillet; stir in frozen vegetables until separated.


Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender.

  • Stir in brats; cover and let heat 3 to 4 minutes or just until hot. Sprinkle cheese over mixture. Re-cover and let stand about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  • Serve this right out of the skillet!

A meal that tastes better than the sum of its parts. For our music tonight how about the Miles Brothers.

So happy I am owned by my Master Indy

Surprising Super Supper


Baked chicken, roasted green beans & tomatoes, scalloped potatoes
This last week slave got out to restaurants a couple of times as a “treat”. Slowly learning that aside from not having to do dishes, this is not really much of a reward. Most of the time the expense is just not worth it and deep inside is the knowledge that most of the food from my kitchen tastes as good as or better than what is served in a loud and busy establishment. Is it any wonder that we strive to do the best we can cooking at home so that our Master's can relax and enjoy?
Once in awhile we might pick up an interesting idea like this side dish of roasted green beans with tomatoes! Might never have thought of combining these flavors.



So next time you get a chance to be taken out to eat, use the opportunity to “troll” the menu for new ideas! Bring the thought home and blend it with what you are good at making



Ingredients:
Baked chicken:
3 breast halves
¼ cup low fat mayonnaise
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon sugar
1 6oz bag of potato chips – try a new flavor like Sweet Hawaiian Onion

Roasted green beans & tomatoes
1 lbs fresh green beans
1 lbs cherry tomatoes
½ tbs garlic powder
1 tbs kosher salt
4 tbs olive oil
3 tablespoons honey


Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, place in rack and lightly spray.

In a shallow dish, combine mayonnaise, garlic powder, and pepper flakes; mix well.



In a large bowl crush the potato chips well until resembling a planko bread crumb. Stir in the sugar.


With a pastry brush, “paint” each piece of chicken with mayo then press into Chip-crumbs. Do the other side as it lays in the crumbs.


When completely covered place on rack in baking sheet. Do not let pieces touch. Spray lightly with cooking spray.
Set aside while preparing the green beans

Line a second baking tray with foil.
Cut the the tomatoes in half lengthwise.



Measure out the oil first into a bowl, then the honey will slide out of the same measure. Mix that together well.
Put the green beans and tomatoes in a large bowl and pour the oil - honey mixture over and toss well. Pour out onto the lined baking tray and sprinkle with salt and garlic powder.



Slide both the green beans and the chicken into the preheated oven. Then chicken should be ready in about 25 – 30 minutes and the green beans right after. Watch them so they don't burn. Use a thermometer to check for 155 degrees.

While that cooks follow directions on the scalloped potatoes.
Remember you want the chicken to come out first and rest,
then the green beans
and then the potatoes last.

What a beautiful meal!

Cobblestone Chicken


This is perhaps the easiest recipe you can throw together for a warm hearty meal. Only 4 ingredients. Now after just paying taxes you might want a cheap meal, this is it. It does taste rich.


Let us not question the motives of the poor chicken trying to cross the road. Let us instead warn it of the many uncaring cars and trucks zooming by.




Ingredients
 
1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuits
 

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in 

         1-inch pieces
 

1 box (10 oz) frozen broccoli & cheese 

flavored sauce

½ Cup Colby – Cheddar cheese shredded



Directions:

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch 

(3-quart) glass or ceramic baking dish with 

cooking spray.





Cut up the chicken breasts into 1 inch pieces.





Separate dough into 8 biscuits; cut each into 

6 pieces. Spread biscuit pieces evenly in 

baking dish.





In a large skillet, cook chicken over 

medium-high heat 12 minutes, stirring 

frequently, until touches of brown show.





While that is cooking, microwave frozen 

broccoli and cheese sauce as directed on 

box. 


Place cooked broccoli with cheese sauce in 

large bowl. Add cooked chicken; stir to 

combine.





Pour mixture evenly over biscuit pieces in 

dish. Sprinkle with the cheese.






Bake 30 – 35 minutes or until golden 

brown. Serve immediately.






Slave chose to serve with some simple green 

beans.

Guiltless Goulash

A goulash can be just about any mixture you want. This is an easy mix that produces a nice sweet touch one pot meal. If you wish, add ground black pepper to taste.


Avoid the temptation to add more flavors. This is balanced just fine and can be easily remembered in a hurry.


Ingredients:
½ lbs ground beef
¼ lbs sausage
½ cup onion chopped
1 pkg frozen corn
1 can stewed tomatoes
½ half & half
¼ box of elbow macaroni

Directions:
Chop the onion. In a skillet over medium heat start to cook the sausage, breaking it apart. After 4 minutes, add the ground beef. After another 4 minutes add the onions. Stir well to brown the beef. Let that cook together for about 9 minutes covered.


While that cooks, microwave the package of corn for half the amount of time listed on the box, usually about 3 to 3:30 minutes. Open the can of stewed tomatoes, do not drain.


When the 9 minutes are up on the ground beef, add the ¼ box of uncooked pasta.


Now pour in the corn with its sauce and the stewed tomatoes with their juice. Stir this together, cover and reduce the heat. Let that simmer and cook for 25 minutes.


After that time, add the ½ cup of half & half. Stir that in and cover. For another 5 minutes to make sure the pasta is done and the mixture is creamy.


Slave heated up some left over green beans as a side. This is a wonderful one pot meal. And so much better for you than a boxed “helper” meal loaded with salt.

Game Day Baked Sandwiches

Lots of sports on TV this time of year. When the guys come over, 

throw together these unique baked sandwiches. Great to add to the 

usual chips and dips. You know the guys will be hungry for 

something more than they can get from a bag.




Easy to shop for, easy to make, easy to clean up! You get the credit 

for being a kitchen genius.



Ingredients:

1 (8-ounce) container refrigerated crescent rolls

½ lbs deli sliced turkey

½ lbs deli sliced ham

½ lbs deli hard salami

½ lbs provolone cheese

1 can diced tomatoes (I used Garlic & Basil flavored) - 

drained

¼ cup chopped red onion

4 eggs, beaten




Directions:






Place pizza stone in oven and pre heat to 350 degrees.

If you have a pizza stone don't forget this step – if you 

don't have one, consider buying one because anything you 

bake with a crust on the bottom will tend to be soggy and 

uncooked. Professional bakers use these stones for a 

reason, they are cheep and easy to care for. Use it.
 

Lightly spray a 9 x 9 baking dish
 
Open the can of tomatoes and drain well
 
Dice up the red onion – hint you can freeze the rest in a 

zipper bag for use latter.
 

Crack the eggs and lightly whisk them together.

 




Roll out wax paper or foil on the counter. Open the crescent 

dough and unroll. Using a table knife, separate down the 

center, leaving 2 pieces about 8 to 9 inch square. Place 

one in the baking dish pushing it out to the sides.
 
Layer with half the turkey, ham, and salami. 

 


 

In a large bowl mix together the tomatoes, red onion and 

almost all of the eggs (leave just enough to make a wash 

for the upper crust).
 
Spoon out half over the meats and lay a layer of cheese.





Then repeat.
 
Turkey, ham, salami, egg mix and cheeses.





Take the other piece of dough and lay it on top. Brush with 

remainder of beaten egg.




Loosely place a piece of foil over the top and let this bake 

for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 20 

to 25 minutes,  or until golden and bottom crust is baked 

through. 

 

 

Let cool 15 to 20 minutes, then cut into 6 man sized 

stacked sandwiches and wrap each with foil to serve.
