CombODDnation: Poka-dot Cream Sausage

There's something very interesting here, you see it?  I swear it's not just something imaginary.  We're not just staring at thin air, even though that's what we usually do.  And it's actually not a bird in the yard, either.  No.  You knew it wasn't a bird because we're not making that weird bird noise right now.

It's Poka-dot Cream Sausage!  This was so yummy!
The baby maters keep coming a mile a minute, so I keep doing funny things with them.
All kinds of funny things.

Anyways, as usual, this is super easy!

With about 2 lbs of ground meats of your choice
(This is the "sausage combo pack" from Khuns' Market, 1 part ground pork, 2 parts beef.  Omg, YUM!)

Smoosh ground meat into 2 balls
Squash one ball flat on a plate
On this squashed flat ball make a little pile in the middle including:
     2 Tbs fennel seed
     2 chopped up fresh cayenne peppers
     Dolup of about 2 oz cream cheese
Squash the second ball of ground meat on top of it all and fold together until it's rather evenly distributed.

Make a dent in the top of this spicy creamy enormous meat ball and plunk down a big handful of baby maters in that dent.
Gently combine the tomatoes into this enormous meatball you're building.  Add as many baby tomatoes as suits you by again making a dent in the meatball and folding them in.  More maters is more yummy, but also makes the sausage patty more likely to fall apart on you.

Take off sausage patty sized pieces, flatten them and place them in the skillet.

On very low heat, cook these until fully browned.  I used the smallest burner, the back burner, and the cream cheese didn't melt out of it, just got all soft and nice.  Here they are when done and ready to be lifted from the skillet.


You can serve this with additional cream cheese, or with cooked greens, such as my chard and beet greens, which I use the grease from cooking the sausage to simmer those to a delicious green yumm-ness.

Not much going on here, it's summer and the garden has decided that this week is the week for growing exponentially!  Endless supply of tomatoes, and the strawberries are pickup up again now.  Starting to see a stink bug population on my bean plants, scrambling to thwart that trouble, they are so destructive.

Also, I smashed a banana into my Lego Yogurt today, and it was PheNom.  I'm on softer foods for a few days, until my tooth can be looked at tomorrow.  Problem with a filling, it hurts.

Happy college move in week :p lol.  I work at a university, it's mayhem.
