What can I do with sausage meat?

Thanks looby, I got the feeling he might be. I added a measured reply in case anyone actually too it seriously, it's toned down from what my real thoughts were

If you lived on nothing but processed meat then quite likely it could contribute towards cancer & related illnesses. But we're talking about people looking for ways to use up a lb or two of sausagemeat. Hardly a great cause for concern or a reason for scaremongering.

I've got a couple of rolls of sausagemeat in the freezer, I've done the usual patties with them but wondered if anyone knew of anything a bit more interesting I could use them for?

Thankyou!

Try this. I know its a stuffing recipe, but we always used to do it on its own in a roasting dish in the oven. I can't remember how long it should be cooked for, though. I must confess that I have been known to sneak into the kitchen on Christmas Day afternoon and have a pick at this, instead of the left-over turkey!

My mum used to make sausagemeat plait. Roll out some pastry into a rectangle, put half of the sausagemeat in the middle of the pastry, on top of this, she used to put choped hard boiled egg, sliced onions, brown sauce, herbs and salt and pepper. Put the rest of the sausage meat on top and then wrap the whole thing in the pastry. She used to make cuts down the front so it looked like a plait. Then brush with egg and bake in the oven. We used to have it on a Saturday tea time. When I made it I baked it on a tray with holes in over another tray (IYKWIM) so th fat could run away.

My mum does a cracking sausagemeat pie, put on a greased base and layer onions and fresh tomatoes then cover with potatoes. She probably puts a few hers and spices in too, just use your imagination.

You can also use sausagement to make stuffing which goes with any meat imo and for meatballs.

Hope that helps!

Apart from the obvious sausage rolls and pies, try this yummy recipe using sausagemeat in place of the sausages.

Or American sausage gravy and biscuits. The biscuits are just like big plain scones Fry a bit of chopped onion in some fat, add the sausagemeat and brown. Next sprinkle on about a tbsp flour and stir well, gradually add milk (as if you were making a white sauce) and stir as it thickens. Add more or less milk depending on how runny you want it. Season well and serve with the biscuits. Great for breakfast on a cold day

Just found an authentic recipe here. Shortening is something like Trex or White Flora, but I use butter with good results.

Mum used to do a sausage meat, beans and pie :rolleyes:

Just pastry (think it was in like a loaf tin shape but not sure if it was a deep pie or not ) , sausage meat, tin of beans. Was a bit strange but quite nice with mash !!!

i like making a fancy jumbo sausage roll. roll out some puff pastry, split the meat in half and shape into two long wide sausages. place some tinned plum tomatoes, mozarrella and herbs on top, and then place the other strip of sausage meat on top of that. wrap the puff pastry over, seal, few artistic slashes with a knife across the top, and bake in the oven (on a baking sheet with a lip, as frozen sausagemeat and the puff pastry, give off alot of fat/water)

My mum used to do a 'fake roast'............mould the sausage meat mixed with some chopped onion, into a round shape..............pop in roasting tin with potatoes............think she used to put the potatos in first then the sausagement.
