Perfect comfort food dinner that is also easy meal prep of sausage and mashed potato Wellington.
Growing up in NJ there was a Jewish deli in town that had an amazing dinner called hush puppy. It as not like the tradition version, this was a hot dog surrounded by mashed potato and wrapped in puff pastry. OMG it was a hand held hot dog and potatoes happiness. I loved this starchy mashed potato treat so much! This recipe is my version of that will a fun twist. I use Italian sausage and make my easy Yukon gold mashed potatoes. Sometimes two simple foods combined together make the most amazing comfort food treats! I usually make double. Cook one portion and freeze the other portion for a quick dinner on a busy week. Also, you can use any kind of sausage your want. Happy Cooking and I would be so grateful if you subscribe for more fun recipes!
Gratitude Tip While You Cook:
My mission with Chop Happy is to create easy recipe for busy people with a dash of gratitude! Since we all have to be in the kitchen at some point in our day lets use that time to zen out and gain more gratitude.
For the time the soup cooks visualize your dreams as if it is already here. Working on you does not have to be a long drawn out process. It can be as simple as a couple of pages of a motivational book. The perfect book to read to learn more about finding calmness, your dreams and making your wishes a reality is The Secret!
Time Saving Dinner Hacks / Cooking Tips:
- Pantry Hack For Flavorful Potatoes: Use chicken broth, veggie broth, or mushroom broth to boil potatoes or rice. Replace the water with flavorful broth and you will infuse amazing flavor just by boiling.
- Gratitude While Stirring: Use the kitchen as a place for self care. As you stir or chop say what you are grateful for. I do this all the time so that cooking can be a time to recharge.
