Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) pork sausage
- 2 cups baking mix (Bisquick)
- ½ cup (120 ml) grated cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup (30 g) Parmesan cheese
- ⅔ cup (160 ml) milk
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup (60 ml) mayonnaise
- ¼ cup (40 g) chopped onion
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp Texas Pete hot sauce
- Dash of red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Thermal Preparation: Calibrate oven to 350F (175C) and thoroughly coat a 9×5 inch loaf pan with non-stick spray, ensuring complete surface coverage.
- Meat Transformation: Sauté sausage and onions in a skillet over medium heat, breaking down meat until fully browned. Drain excess fat on paper towels and allow to cool to ambient temperature.
- Flavor Foundation: Blend egg, Parmesan, cheddar, Texas Pete hot sauce, salt, and red pepper flakes in a large mixing bowl until ingredients harmonize into a smooth consistency.
- Batter Composition: Methodically integrate baking mix, milk, and mayonnaise into the cheese mixture, whisking thoroughly to eliminate potential lumps and create a uniform batter.
- Protein Integration: Gently fold cooled sausage and onion mixture into the batter, ensuring comprehensive and even distribution of meat components.
- Culinary Transformation: Transfer batter to prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes. Monitor for golden-brown exterior and confirm doneness using the toothpick technique – a clean insertion indicates complete cooking.
- Resting and Presentation: Allow bread to stabilize in pan for 10 minutes post-baking. Carefully transfer to cooling rack, slice, and serve while maintaining optimal warmth and flavor profile.
Notes
- Manage Moisture Carefully: Drain sausage thoroughly to prevent soggy bread texture and ensure crisp, well-defined edges.
- Balance Spice Levels: Adjust Texas Pete and red pepper flakes according to personal heat preference, tasting mixture before baking for optimal flavor intensity.
- Check Doneness Precisely: Use toothpick test by inserting into bread center; it should emerge clean with minimal crumbs for perfect baking consistency.
- Store Strategically: Wrap cooled bread in plastic wrap or store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness without compromising texture.
