COUNTRY SAUSAGE QUICHE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven according to pie crust instructions. Unroll pie crust and gently press into a pie plate crimping the edges using your fingers. Poke crust with a fork and bake the crust for approximately 5 minutes just to get it started.
• 2. Meanwhile brown sausage in a medium skillet, drain on paper towel cool slightly. *I often use leftover chicken, roast beef, bacon bits, diced ham, sausage or a combination of two.
• 3. While sausage is cooling use the same skillet to add 1 T olive oil & saute 1 - 1 1/2C mixed veggies diced in uniform pieces. I used 1/4 diced onion, 1/4 diced yellow bell pepper, 3 T. sliced mushrooms, 1/2 small zucchini diced. Let cool slightly. *any combination works: Chicken & broccoli or ground beef, onion, black olive w/salsa are some favorites*
• 4. In a small mixing bowl combine eggs, half & half, red pepper flakes, mustard, garlic & onion powder, thyme, worcestershire sauce, salt & pepper and whisk really well. *using half & half (my favorite) or heavy cream makes this dish rich and decadent. Using milk just lightens this up a bit.
• 5. Layer into pie shell browned meat, veggies, 1/2 of the shredded cheese & gently pour egg mixture over everything. Cover crust with foil and remove last 10 minutes of baking time.
• 6. Bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes until middle is done. *I place the quiche on a large cookie sheet to avoid boil over/spills in my oven.
• 7. Remove from oven and top with remaining cheese and let stand for 10 minutes before serving. This is really good served room temperature too.

COUNTRY SAUSAGE

Steps:

• If your meat grinder comes with a coarse and a fine grind attachment, grind the meat first through the coarser disk. Put all the remaining ingredients in a spice mill or blender and process until ground evenly. Add the ground seasonings to the meat and mix in well. In a frying pan on top of the stove, fry a little piece of the sausage and taste for seasoning. Correct the seasoning to your own taste. If you think the sausage is too fatty, you may add some more lean meat (and it needn't be pork: veal is fine, and oysters are delicious); you may want more hot peppers.
• Put the properly seasoned forcemeat through the fine grinder.
• If you are stuffing the sausage into casings: Run the mixture through the meat grinder set on the fine setting (and with the sausage stuffer attached and the casings tied at one end and placed over the end of the funnel, ready to be filled). Tie off stuffed sausages into 4-inch links. Cover the sausages and place immediately in the refrigerator.
• You can smoke some or all of the sausage - or partially smoke it. And you can freeze the sausage as well.
