Bottom of the Pan Patties
I made these patties for my mom. She loves the crusty stuff that sticks to the bottom of the pans (meatloaf, roast chicken, roast beef, etc.) or as we call it, the “goop”. I made this recipe to sort of resemble that flavor. I made some of these up a few days ago and gave my husband a plate to take to work for the guys… The man who we bought the sausage from told my husband he has been around sausage for 40 years and never tasted something that good, that’s when I was sure this recipe was a keeper. =) Bottom of the Pan Patties Ingredients: 1-1 1/4…

She was like you know what they are, those things you put on top of green bean casserole! Me: “oh… French fried onions, or fronions? My mom said…
