for the meatatarians at the tailgate

 

SWEET POTATOES WITH SAUSAGE PATTIES

Mashed sweet potatoes

Brown sugar

Sausage patties, pan-browned, drippings reserved (preferably from homemade sausage—see recipes in this and Tex-Czech sections)

Preheat oven to 350^o. Fill a deep buttered pie plate with mashed sweet potatoes, sprinkle potatoes lightly with brown sugar, cover with pan-browned sausage patties, adding a few teaspoons of drippings “for flavor.” Bake 15 to 20 minutes.
