Trisha Yearwoods Sausage Balls Food

SPICY SAUSAGE BITES

Steps:

• For the sausage bites: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Unfold the pastry sheet and dust both sides with flour. Roll to an approximately 12-inch square. Cut into four 6-inch squares. Beat the egg in a small bowl. Brush the entire surface of the top of each pastry square lightly with beaten egg. Reserve the egg wash. Brush with the mustard, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Roll each sausage tightly in a pastry square, crimping the edges to seal. With a serrated knife, trim the loose edges from each roll. Cut each crosswise into 4 sections.
• Place the bites seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, about an inch apart. Bake until the pastry is crisp, browned and cooked through, 35 to 40 minutes. Sprinkle with dill.
• For the creole mayo sauce: Meanwhile, combine the mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, maple syrup, cider vinegar and a dash of hot sauce in a bowl.
• Serve the sausage bites warm with the sauce for dipping.

SAUSAGE HORS D'OEUVRES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the sausage, cheese and baking mix and beat on low speed until blended. Add pepper to taste. Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookies sheet. Bake until browned, about 20 minutes.
• Drain on paper towels, sprinkle with salt and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

SAUSAGE-CHEDDAR BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until well-browned, breaking it up into small pieces. Let cool completely, either on the counter or in the freezer.
• Mix together the butter and sour cream in a stand mixer. Mix in the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing until fully combined. Add the sausage and cheddar, and mix until well incorporated.
• Drop heaping spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.

INSTANT POT SAUSAGE LASAGNA

Steps:

• Set a 6-quart Instant Pot® to Saute. Add the olive oil and wait until it gets hot. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up clumps with a wooden spoon, until brown, about 5 minutes. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl. Add a splash of water and scrape up the brown bits, then discard. Wipe down the inside of the pot.
• Stir together the ricotta, egg, oregano, nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Break the noodles into approximate thirds (it's okay if little shards break off too).
• Spray a 7-inch round cake pan with nonstick spray.
• Spread a little bit of sauce in the bottom of the pan, then top it with a layer of broken lasagna noodles so that they slightly overlap and cover most of the pan. Top with a third of the ricotta mixture and about a third of the mozzarella, then a sprinkle of Parmesan. Sprinkle a third of the sausage over the cheeses, then drizzle with 1 cup marinara sauce. Repeat 2 more times: noodles, ricotta, mozz, Parm, sausage, marinara. Top with one last layer of noodles, a thin layer of the remaining marinara, making sure not to cover completely with sauce, and then the remaining mozzarella. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan.
• Create a sling for your pan by folding a 24-inch sheet of foil lengthwise twice place under the pan.
• Place the trivet in the bottom of the Instant Pot® and add 1 cup water. Set the lasagna on the trivet, then cover the pot. Set the pot to Pressure Cook on high and set for 30 minutes. Manually release the valve when it is done.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Carefully remove the lasagna from the pot, and place on a sheet pan. Broil the lasagna in until bubbling and browned in spots, about 2 minutes. Let stand for 20 minutes before serving.

POWER BALLS

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse the oats, peanut butter, honey, chocolate chips, cranberries, sunflower seeds and flax seeds until fully combined. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Form balls from the mixture (about 1 1/2 tablespoons each) and place them on the baking sheet. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.

TRISHA YEARWOOD'S BREAKFAST SAUSAGE CASSEROLE IS CHRISTMAS #BRUNCHGOALS

Steps:

• Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes and spread in the bottom of a greased 9- by-13-by-2 casserole dish. In a medium skillet, brown the sausage over medium heat until fully cooked and no longer pink. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon to drain the fat. Spread the cooked sausage over the bread and top with cheese. Stir together half-and-half, dry mustard, salt and eggs. Pour this mixture over cheese and bread. Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. The next day, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the covered casserole until set and slightly golden, about 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to set for 15 minutes before serving.
