Unlike my New Orleans Shrimp Cheese Cake recipe this is less complex and really just as good. I like to bring this to summer time parties instead of the usual deviled eggs or potato salad. Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups butter crackers crumbs |
1/3 cup sharp cheddar cheese (about 3 oz) |
1/4 cup butter or marg. melted |
1 lb. mild italian pork sausage |
1 medium onion finely chopped |
2 pkgs cream cheese (8 oz.) softened |
4 eggs |
1/4 cup all-purpose flour |
8 oz. sour cream |
1/2 tsp ground sage |
1/4 tsp white pepper |
2 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded (about 8 oz) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Combine first 3 ingredients; mix well. Press evenly onto bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.
3. Remove sausage from casings; crumble into a heavy. Add onion; cook until sausage is browned and onion is tender, stirring to crumble sausage. Drain and cool.
4. Beat cream cheese until fluffy in a large mixing bowl; add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.
5. Add flour, sour cream, sage and pepper; beat at low speed just until smooth and blended.
6. Stir in two cups cheese and sausage mixture. Pour into pan.
7. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 225°F. and bake 1 hour and 15 minutes.
8. Cool 30 to 45 minutes on rack. Remove side of pan.
9. Serve warm.
