Hummingbird Cake

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 cups sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
3 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 (8 oz.) can crushed pineapple, undrained
1 cup chopped pecans
1-3/4 cups mashed bananas
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Cream Cheese Frosting (below)

Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl; add eggs and oil, stirring until dry ingredients are moistened.  Do not beat.  Stir in vanilla, pineapple, 1 cup pecans, and bananas.  Pour batter into 3 greased and floured 9-inch round cake pans.  Bake at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.  Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans, and let cool completely on wire racks.  Stir 1/2 cup pecans into Cream Cheese Frosting, if desired, or reserve them to sprinkle over top of frosted cake.  Spread frosting between layers and on top and sides of cake.

1-1/2 cups  Bisquick baking mix
1/4 tsp. ground red pepper
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
2/3 cup milk
1/2 c. finely grated Cheddar cheese

Grease bottoms only of muffin pans. Crumble sausage in skillet, add chopped onion.  Cook until sausage is done.  Stir to keep sausage in small pieces.  Drain well.
