                      Sausage Gravy Is there anything better then some good sausage gravy? Its requested so often by my family. It makes the house smell good and makes my fried chicken go to the next level of sinful decadence.and of course, topped on some biscuits on a chilly morning! Delicious!  * Picture is my Fried Chicken with Sausage Gravy and Roasted  Brussel Sprouts w/Pine Nuts  It is a very easy recipe. So give it a try Start with 2 pounds of sausage in an electric skillet or frying pan and brown up well With a slotted spoon take sausage out of frying pan and place it on a paper towel covered plate... To the fat left in the pan, add 3 T of butter  Add about 4-5 T of KY Kernel flour (if you only have regular then just add some salt and pepper to taste at the end) Whisk the flour and fat together to make a great roux.  This takes about 2 -3 minutes Add 2 tsp of garlic powder (Using fresh over powers the dish so I advise not using it) Add between 3-5 cups of whole or low fat 2% mi

  Momma's Beef Chili  It’s our Trick Or Treat tradition! This by far the easiest tastiest chili I have ever made.  It makes quite a bit and with Mac n Cheese, it truly hits the spot on a cold Fall day. For the past 4 years we have a big family dinner before trick or treating at our house. Mom’s chili and Mac cheese! So whether it is just the  chili, just the mac & cheese, or both together in a bowl it is always a hit! 2 lbs lean ground beef (@least 93% lean 7% fat) 1 large, diced onion 1 large jar (24-32oz) Salsa medium heat (I prefer the white corn and black bean salsa) 1 T Cumin 2 T Chili powder 1 tsp Red pepper flakes 1 T Garlic powder 1 large and one small Bush’s Chili Beans ( they are gluten free) Siracha to taste I use about 1-2 T because we love the heat and flavor. In a large pot over medium heat combine the onion and ground beef, cooking till the meat is almost cooked through. Add the spices and mix well. Let it cook another 2-3 mins. Add the jar of salsa and mix well
