My dad made this for my birthday back in December and it is very delicious. I found out later that my husband uses the same recipe when he carries breakfast casserole to work. I also found out that my grandmother used to make this when I was growing up. My dad actually got it from his boss well over 25 years ago. It is certainly not low in calories but in my opinion if it was it would not taste as good.

My dad made these for Christmas when we were visiting and they were quite tasty. I have had the recipe for a few years and just have not made them in awhile.
2 cups Bisquick
1 lb. sausage (hot & spicy)
1/2 cup water
Mix dough and roll out to 1/8 inch thick. Spread thin crumbled sausage. Roll as for jelly roll. Freeze or refrigerate. Slice thin and bake at 450 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
Notes: Leave sausage out at room temperature and spread it on the dough with a knife. Roll slices better if frozen slightly.

I first heard of this recipe from my dad. It has since become a favorite of my husbands. It is time consuming but, well worth the time to make.
1lb of medium shrimp
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
¼ tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground red pepper
¼ cup finely chopped onion
1/3 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
3 tablespoons of bacon drippings
2 tablespoons of flour
¾ cup shrimp stock or chicken broth
Peel and devein the shrimp. Combine the shrimp, lemon juice salt and red pepper in a bowl and mix well. Cook the onion and bell pepper in the bacon drippings in a skillet over medium high heat for 10 min or until tender, stirring constantly. Sprinkle with the flour. Cook for 2 minutes or until the flour begins to brown, stirring constantly. Add the shrimp mixture and stock. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the shrimp turns pink, stirring constantly. Add water or additional stock if sauce is to thick. Serve over creamy grits.
Creamy Grits

12 cups of chicken broth
4 cups of stone ground white grits

Bring 11 cups of broth to a boil in saucepan. Add the grits slowly, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat, stirring constantly. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the cream. Cook for an additional 10 minutes. Add remaining broth as needed for consistency. Season with salt.
