Mix a cup of flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder a pinch of salt and a couple of grinds of fresh pepper with a whisk. Caramelize a half an onion, slice as many garlic cloves as you have the taste and patience for and brown those. Take them out the frying pan, open two Italian sausage links and a handful of ground beef. Brown. Mix in the onions and garlic. Spray a casserole dish with spray oil. Put meat mixture in. Now take your yolks and an egg (only one), a melted pat of butter, a cup of milk and a cup of shredded cheddar, add it to the flour mixture, whisk it into a batter and pour over meat mixture. Sprinkle some cheddar across the top. Bake at 375 for about a half an hour. ---
