1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 pound ground sausage

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 cups beef broth

Instructions

1. Slice the top off the garlic head, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast at 400°F for 35–40 minutes until golden and soft.

For extra flavor, use a mix of beef and Italian sausage.

If reheating, add a splash of cream or broth to keep the mash smooth.
