Sausage Gravy

Sausage Gravy

Biscuits and gravy is a classic breakfast dish.  It definitely screams comfort food.  My uncle used to make biscuits with hamburger gravy for me as a kid.  Anytime I make biscuits and gravy, it always reminds me of him.  This time I used sausage in the gravy.

Here’s what you’ll need:

8oz ground sausage

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons butter

3 tablespoons flour

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup skim milk

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon salt

¾ teaspoon ground black pepper

Biscuits (click link for recipe) for serving

 

Heat olive oil in skillet on med-high heat. Cook and brown 6oz of ground sausage.

BONUS RECIPE:  Breakfast Bowl

breakfast bowl

We had some biscuits and sausage gravy leftover…I know, but only 2 of us were eating breakfast yesterday morning.

I refrigerated the leftover gravy and stored the biscuits in an airtight container.  (You can also freeze the gravy, and thaw in the refrigerator overnight.)

I reheated the gravy in a microwave safe bowl on 30 second intervals for 1-1/2 minutes.  I stir in between each interval.

I reheated the biscuits in the oven on 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes.

I cooked up a sunny side up egg and a few slices of bacon.

I layered the biscuit in the bowl first.  Next, a spoonful of gravy, the sunny side up egg, bacon crumbles, and shredded cheddar cheese.

Good morning breakfast bowl!
