Last month, we got a good deal on some sausages. We got 3 packs of frankfurters for the price of 2. I defrosted a pack which contained 4 huge pieces. After cutting them up, I realized that they were too much for the pasta dish I had in mind. Since we love eating onions, I decided to make a sausage and onion side dish to go with the pasta.
What I used
- butter
- olive oil
- 2 packs of yellow cab's crushed chili pepper
- 4 frankfurters cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 can whole button mushrooms, sliced in half, reserved liquid
- 1 can cream of mushroom
- 1 pack Eden cooksarap grated cheese
- leftover cooked macaroni
- onions, sliced into half rings
What I did
- melted some butter
- added olive oil
- stirred in the crushed chili peppers
- mixed in the frankfurters
- set aside some of the frankfurters, about as much as the mushrooms
- threw in the onions, gave it a quick stir
- transferred to a serving dish
- in the same pan, sauteed the mushrooms in a little butter and olive oil
- poured in the cream of mushroom and let it boil
- mixed in around 2/3 of the liquid from the canned mushrooms about a spoonful at a time while stirring continuously
- melted the cheese
- returned the frankfurters (the one without the onions)
- combined the macaroni
I loved how the pasta absorbed the sauce and the kick from the crushed chili peppers. If you do not enjoy spicy food that much, lessen the crushed chili peppers by half or skip them completely.
