Savoring the Best of West Texas: German Sausage with Sauerkraut and Mashed Potatoes with Pan Gravy


Before we delve into Lainie's exceptional real estate expertise, let's embark on a culinary journey through a beloved West Texas-inspired recipe: German Sausage with Sauerkraut.


Ingredients:


  • High-Quality German Sausages (look for renowned brands like Boar's Head or Johnsonville)

  • Sauerkraut (opt for authentic, fermented sauerkraut for the best flavor)

  • Potatoes (choose Russet or Yukon Gold for creamy mashed potatoes)

  • Butter (go for unsalted for better control of seasoning)

  • Flour

  • Milk

  • Salt and Pepper (freshly ground for a burst of flavor)

  • Fresh Herbs for Garnish (parsley or chives add a lovely touch)

Instructions:


  1. Searing the Sausages: Kickstart your culinary journey by searing the German sausages to golden perfection. This crucial step locks in their juicy essence while granting them a delightful crispiness. Reserve half of the savory pan drippings from the bratwurst for our lip-smacking gravy.

  2. Simmering the Sauerkraut: In the same pan, add sauerkraut and let it simmer until heated through. The sausages' savory remnants will infuse the sauerkraut with a delightful richness.

  3. Creamy Mashed Potatoes: While the sauerkraut is simmering, boil and mash the potatoes. Add a generous amount of butter and a pinch of salt for extra flavor. Creamy mashed potatoes are the perfect accompaniment to the savory sausages.

  4. Pan Gravy: To create a rich pan gravy, we will use the reserved pan drippings. In a separate pan, add the reserved drippings, then add flour, and cook until it turns a golden hue. Slowly whisk in milk until you achieve a smooth, luscious consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. Serve with Love: Plate the sausages on top of the sauerkraut, then to the side add the creamy mashed potatoes, and drizzle the tantalizing pan gravy. Garnish with fresh herbs for a burst of color and flavor.


This hearty West Texas-inspired dish is a testament to Lainie's love for the region's flavors and her commitment to sharing them with the world. It's a delightful meal that brings family and friends together, just like Lainie herself.

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 egg

  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk

Instructions:

  1. Sift and Mix: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to combine these dry ingredients.

  2. Eggcellent Addition: In another bowl, beat the egg until it's light and fluffy. Then, whisk in the buttermilk, root beer, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

  6. Serve with Love: Stack those root beer beauties on a plate, drizzle with your favorite syrup, and add a dollop of whipped cream if you're feeling extra fancy.
