Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large, deep skillet, brown the ground pork sausage over medium-high heat until fully cooked and crumbly. (Approximately 8-10 minutes)

02

Step

Drain the sausage thoroughly in a colander, rinsing under cold water to remove excess grease. Break the sausage into small, pea-sized pieces.

03

Step

Return the drained sausage to the skillet. Add the sweetened condensed milk and heat over medium heat until the mixture just begins to bubble. (Approximately 3-5 minutes)

04

Step

Immediately stir in the yellow cornmeal and coarsely ground black pepper, ensuring everything is evenly incorporated. Reduce the heat to a simmer.

05

Step

Continue cooking, stirring constantly to prevent sticking, until the mixture thickens and becomes very stiff. This should take approximately 5 minutes.

06

Step

Pack the scrapple mixture firmly into an 8x4 inch loaf pan. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming.

07

Step

Chill in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 6 hours, to allow the scrapple to firm up completely.

08

Step

To serve, slice the chilled scrapple into 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick slices.

09

Step

In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, sauté the scrapple slices until golden brown and crispy on both sides. (Approximately 3-4 minutes per side)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of dried sage or thyme to the sausage while browning.
If you prefer a less sweet scrapple, you can substitute evaporated milk for the sweetened condensed milk, adjusting the sweetness to your liking with a touch of sugar or maple syrup.
Serve the crispy scrapple with warm maple syrup, apple butter, or a fried egg for a complete and satisfying meal.
