Bangers and mash gets its name because sausages used to bang or burst while cooking. Mash, meanwhile, refers to the mashed potatoes. This recipe was a staple at our home in Dublin at Halloween. It is a very cheap, very traditional supper, and one that truly requires good sausage. Please note that this is a very thin gravy, as is traditional. It will still be very liquidy.

Low-Fat Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas
I had been looking for a recipe for restaurant-quality enchiladas with sour cream sauce, and my friend's grandma gave me this one that's made with ingredients that are lower in fat and calories.

Creole Chitterlings (Chitlins)
There are some recipes for chitlins that are called Southern; however, the Creole and Cajun culture cooks chitterlings a bit differently than the rest of the South. I believe this simple recipe does the heritage justice. Serve with your favorite side dishes and store any leftovers in the refrigerator. Like so many other great soul food dishes, chitlins taste even better after the flavor has soaked in for a few hours.
Scalloped Potatoes and Ham
These creamy scalloped potatoes and ham are cooked in a delicious homemade cheese sauce for a cozy side dish. If you prefer a little kick, try adding a dash of cayenne pepper to the sauce.
