Daily Delish – Kitchen Shortcuts

Daily Delish

Who says that taking the long way has it’s rewards? Clearly they’ve never encounter pre-cooked chicken sausage.

Don’t get me wrong, the scenic route is great and making homemade food provides a real sense of accomplishment and added happiness when you eat your dishes. People, this is not one of those times.

This next recipe requires 6 ingredients and makes a complete, delicious meal.

You’ll need (serves two hungry people):

1 package of mushrooms (I used baby bellas – pre-washed and sliced, of course!)

1 package of chicken sausage

Your favorite pasta sauce – about 1 1/2 cups – go with the jarred, people! Save the homemade stuff for a long, winter/fall afternoon.

2 slices of bread

Butter

Parmesan Cheese

First, place a saute pan on medium heat and mist with cooking spray. Add your mushrooms and brown on both sides.

Now that things are getting hot and steamy, add the chicken sausage (make sure to slice it before hand). Since it’s already cooked, you shouldn’t have to cook it long.

Add the pasta sauce an mix, reducing the heat to low/med.

While this is simmering, turn your broiler on to low/med and microwave a few tablespoons of butter. Add Parmesan cheese and stir — keep adding cheese until the butter thickens, resembling a paste (but not too thick). Spread on top of bread and place in the broiler for about 3 minutes.

Remove sausages/sauce/shrooms from stove top and transfer into bowls. Top with Parmesan cheese and serve along side garlic bread, the perfect “dipper!”

Rub your belly and thank yourself for taking the shortcuts ;)

    Favorite kitchen shortcut would have to be microwave-steaming sweet potatoes instead of waiting for them to bake or roast. Did that today ;)
