Sausage with Apples and Onions

This was a seriously easy dinner.  I made mashed potatoes, and steamed some broccoli to go along with this.  I think it ends up being fewer than 10 ingredients for the entire meal, and everybody gobbled it up.  I was surprised that this ended up being a meal where I didn't have to beg my kids to take bites of things!

Sausage with Apples and Onions:

1 lb Hillshire Farm smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2 pieces
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 apple, diced
1/2 tsp. beer'n'brat mustard
salt and pepper

Get the sausage slices browned, and after flipping to the other side, add the apples and onions to the pan.  Brown until the onions are soft and the apples are starting to brown, then add in the mustard.  Season with salt and pepper.

I made a gravy out of the pan drippings by adding about 1 tsp. of flour to the fat remaining in the pan, then adding about 2 T. apple juice and 1/4 to 1/2 C. water, with salt and pepper to season.  There wasn't much fat left in the pan to work with, so it didn't make much, but it was enough to be tasty on the potatoes, anyway.
