All Hot! Sausage and Red Skinned Potatoes

Proper planning is essential for a positive outcome. Pre-planning ensures that all bases are covered, every aspect of the attack considered and an appropriate response ready.

Plan B doesn't suck, either.

The Plan

Lunch. Grilled chicken breasts marinated in Italian dressing, topped with shredded cheddar and romaine lettuce on a toasted bulkie roll with a side of red skinned potato salad. nice and easy, we have a drill this morning, not a lot of time to be playing in the kitchen.

Recon

At the market we find chicken breast at $4.99 a pound. $4.99? What did they do, feed the chickens gold nuggets? Next to the chicken breasts are sweet and hot Italian sausage links. They are on sale at $1.99 a pound. A quick modification to the original plan and we're off.

Plan B

Sliced Sausage with Red Skinned potatoes and a Caesar Salad on the side.

The modified list:

five or six pounds of sausage, some hot, some sweet

five pound bag of red potatoes

dozen bulkie rolls

two vadalia onions

bulb of garlic

three heads romaine lettuce

two bags shredded cheddar

couple cans of olives

2 pkgs Lipton Recipe Secrets, onion flavor

2 bottles caesar dressing

Olive oil

butter

garlic salt

paprika

The Attack

Have your slaves wash and quarter the potatoes and chop the garlic while you slice the sausage and onions. In a big mixing bowl combine the sausage, potatoes, onions and chopped garlic. Then, add the packages of Recipe Secrets. Pour in three or four "glugs" of Olive oil. Mix it up, toss it around and put into two big baking pans, stick it in the fridge and go to the drill.

The second you get back from the drill, hopefully around 1100 hrs. preheat the oven to 375. Wash and tear the lettuce into bits sized pieces, put the pans of sausages in the oven, melt some butter and add garlic salt and paprika, brush the butter onto the bulkie rolls and put them on top of the oven so you don't forget them.

If all goes well, forty-five minutes will have passed, you or somebody will have turned the sausage and potatoes over once or twice, the lettuce and olives are ready for you to add the dressing and toss in the cheese, and you can put the garlic bread in the bottom shelf of the oven.

Mix up the salad, take the sausage and potatoes out of the oven, along with the garlic rolls and say the magic words;

ALL HOT!

The best part? At four bucks a person they will only complain a little.
