Breakfast Shortcakes


Okay, this is really just sausage gravy dressed up a bit with some chopped mushrooms and onions. Everyone one in Sunday school seemed to enjoy these.

If you don't like mushrooms and/or onions, just leave them out and have plain old country-style sausage gravy! I used Mary B.'s frozen tea biscuits for the biscuits.

Breakfast Shortcakes


1 lb. bulk pork sausage
1 container mushrooms, chopped
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup flour
3 - 4 cups (depending on how thick you like your gravy) half-and-half or milk
salt and freshly ground pepper
Biscuits, baked (I use frozen tea biscuits)

Cook the sausage, breaking up chunks, in a large skillet over medium heat until done;
Remove from pan and drain. Return to pan and add the mushrooms and onion;
Cook until onion and mushrooms are tender and any liquid is evaporated. Add the
flour, stirring until the sausage mixture is well coated with the flour.
Slowly stir in the half-and-half; cook until thickened. Add salt and pepper to taste.

To serve, split the biscuits in half, placing the bottoms on individual plates. Spoon
the gravy over the bottoms and place the biscuit top on top of the gravy.

Georgia Cornbread Cake

I clipped this recipe several years ago from American Profile, which is a small magazine insert that come with our local newspaper, The Pontotoc Progress. It is yummy, yummy, yummy!  I love the story that accompanied the recipe and was delighted when a Google searched turned up the same article on the web! Larry took this to work, and he said it was a huge hit with everyone! Enjoy! Georgia Cornbread Cake Georgia Cornbread Cake   Recipe of Stella T.

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s
