'I've been the chief cook ever since I moved in with my father, says Judy Yackey of Kalispell, Montana. 'With its crispy coating, this southern specialty is his favorite meal. He loves it with mashed potatoes.'
My mother learned how to make this while we lived in Nashville many years ago, and it is now a family favorite. Good old-fashioned sausage gravy. It's her most requested recipe from family and friends alike. Serve over biscuits or toast.
The red and green make a great Christmas cookie. Have used other nuts instead of pistachios with success. If your pistachios are salted, omit the 1/4 teaspoon salt from the recipe.
