Midwest Scrapple - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup minced onion
1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork (I generally use 1 lb.)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground sage
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 1/2 cups water
1 cup yellow cornmeal

Preparation

Combine all ingredients except corn meal in a saucepan.
Bring to a boil; lower heat and simmer gently for 20 minutes, stirring frequently.
Gradually stir in cornmeal, stirring constantly and cook until thickened.
Rinse a loaf pan (5in x 9in) with cold water; pour in scrapple and chill completely.
Cut into slices about 1/2 inch thick.
Dust with flour and fry in oil until lightly browned.
(Browning these slices until crusty around the edges takes several minutes on each side.) Serve with syrup, applesauce, or butter and salt and pepper.
