It's been awhile! This weekend had been busy as I prepared for hosting Pokeno and giving the house a deep clean. So, Sunday night I made some comfort food, suggested by a message board friend.
It's called Toad In A Hole and she got it off of a website called hillbillyhousewife.com
We liked it - but both felt like it needed a little "something" in the bread top - some seasoning of some sort. But it was easy and fairly cheap....and gives one a good excuse to use a cast iron skillet.
Toad in a Hole
POINTS® Value: 6
Servings: 8
Ingredients
1 pound raw turkey sausage
2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp table salt
2 egg
2 1/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup shredded fat-free cheddar cheese
Instructions: Fry the sausage in a large iron skillet. You can shape it into patties first if you like, or just smash it into little pieces as you cook it. Be sure to cook it all the way through.
While the sausage is frying, get out a bowl. In it, combine the flour, salt, eggs, and milk. Stir it up really well, so the batter is creamy and smooth. You can combine this batter in the blender if you prefer.
When the sausage is done cooking, drain off most of the fat. You will need a little fat left in the pan to make this dish, so don't drain off all of the fat. Next pour the batter into the hot skillet, over and around the cooked sausage.
Bake the mixture at 450 degrees for about 30 to 40 minutes. Sprinkle cheese on top for the last 5 minutes of baking. The bread will be puffed up around the sausage like a giant popover. It will be golden brown and crispy all over.
Cut the dish into 8 wedges and serve.
