2 sweet or spicy Italian sausages
2 c. all-purpose flour
1/3 c. Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. fresh ground pepper
1/2 tsp. dried or fresh oregano leaves
1 lg. egg
1 (14 oz.) jar pizza sauce or can of chunky Italian tomatoes
About 2 tbsp. olive or vegetable oil

Remove sausage meat from casings, break into pieces and place in skillet. Fry over moderate heat, stirring and breaking up sausage with a spoon until cooked and brown. While sausage cooks, heat oven to 400 degrees. Grease muffin cups or mini-muffin pan. Drain sausage, save fat in skillet. Thoroughly mix flour, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Crumble oregano in our fingers to release the flavor and stir into mixture. Break egg into medium size bowl. Lightly beat or whisk, blend in pizza sauce or tomatoes. Add 3 tablespoons fat or oil to sauce mixture -- start with fat from skillet and make up difference with olive or vegetable oil. Add sausage; mix well. Pour sauce over dry ingredients and mix gently with rubber spatula until ingredients are moistened.

Scoop thick batter into cups or pan. Bake 20-25 minutes or until firm. Turn out on rack to cool. Wait about 30 minutes before serving.
