A Tasty Mixup

Soooo, I had planned to make a nice thick white sauce to pour over toast or pasta for dinner.  I know Tristan will always eat sausage, so I had some ground pork in the freezer I decided to use.  But it turned into a soup…..yeah, didn't make enough roux for as much cream as I put in…..but, it was fabulous!!!!

1 lb groung pork
3 tbsp diced yellow pepper
3 tbsp diced sweet onion
a few leaves of fresh cilantro

3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp flour
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tsp marjoram
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 can diced Italian tomatoes
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy whipping cream

Shredded mozzarella

Brown ground pork, add yellow pepper, onion and cilantro, saute a few minutes then set aside
in a sauce pan, melt butter and add garlic, onion powder, marjoram, salt and pepper.  Saute until garlic is not raw, then add the flour and whisk into a roux.  Let cook a few minutes, then add the chicken broth , whisking well until the mixture is thickened.  Add the cream, and it will thin out.  Add the Italian tomatoes and let simmer for a few minutes, just to blend all the flavors.

Add the sauce to the pork mixture and mix well, let simmer a few minutes.  Serve with toast or pasta and top with shredded mozzerella.

Sorry, no pictures, it was too delicious.  hehe
