Grandma Ani's Breakfast Sausage

Make sausage into patties. Fry them up till no longer pink. Place sausage patties in pot with evaporated milk. You can put 1-3 cans of milk in depending on how much sausage you have and how much gravy you want. Serve with hash browns and muffins or whatever.

SALSA ROLL-UPS


  • 4 oz. (1/2 of  an 8-oz. package) cream cheese or light cream cheese, softened
  • 3 Tablespoons salsa (use your favorite kind–I used a “Lime and Garlic” flavored salsa)
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 4  (6-inch) flour tortillas (or substitute 3 (8-inch) tortillas–I like to use the spinach, sun-dried tomato, or whole wheat flavors)
  • 3/4 cup finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese or Fiesta/Mexican blend cheese
  • Optional: 2 green onion stems, finely chopped (you need to finely chop these so the tortillas will roll up better!)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
In small bowl, mix softened cream cheese and salsa together until well blended. Add chili powder and blend well.
Spread cream cheese mixture evenly onto the tortillas. Top each tortilla evenly with shredded cheese, green onion, and cilantro. Roll up tortillas tightly (they’ll cut into slices much better if you roll them tightly). Trim the ends of each rolled tortilla about 1/2″ to 1″, and cut each tortilla into 5 slices for 6″ tortillas, or 8 or 9 slices for 8″ tortillas.
Arrange on a platter and serve. Makes 20 to 24 roll-ups.

Crumb Topping
1/3 Cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. salt
8 Tbsp. butter, melted
1 3/4 cup. cake flour
 
Muffins
1 1/4 cup cake flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
6 Tbsp. butter, softened and cut into 6 pieces
1 large egg
1 egg yolk
1 tsp. vanilla
1/3 cup butter milk 

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Fill a muffin tin with muffin liners.  In a medium bowl whisk the sugars, cinnamon, and salt.  Pour the butter over the top.  Use a wooden spoon and mix until everything in evenly incorporated.  Add the cake flour and mis until thick and cohesive.
In a stand mixer bowl attached with the paddle mix flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt on low.  On low speed add the butter one piece at a time.  The batter will have moist clumps, but no visible butter chunks.  Will take 1 to 2 minutes.  Add the egg, yolk, and vanilla to butter mix.  Beat until light and fluffy.  Use 1/2 cup measuring cup and fill the muffin liners.  Generously sprinkle the crumb topping on top.  Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.  Let cool 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
