Рецепт Hearty Brown Sausage Gravy and Mom's Coffee
Hearty Brown Sausage Gravy and Mom's Coffee
Breakfast, along with being the most important meal of the day, is also my favorite meal. Growing up, my parents left together for work at 6:25 every morning, give or take a few minutes, but never was this done without my mom preparing breakfast for the family. I recall those days before school and sometimes on Saturdays, my dad in the car blowing the horn, because mom had "just one more thing " to do or say, then out she went, her coffee oftentimes barely touched and still piping hot on the kitchen table. Not to be wasted of course, I relished in that special treat, knowing mom had prepared and sipped the creamy and delicious caramel tinted cup of goodness that sat before me. I love coffee to this day, probably beckoning to my carefree days of a blessed and loving childhood with memories unmatched.
Sausage gravy is a great way to stretch your buck and feed more with the same amount of protein.
This can be further achieved by adding more flour and more milk, depending on personal circumstances. I have only been making it during this past ten years , here and there, but as I developed my prowess in the kitchen, a good go-to sausage gravy recipe became imminent. I feel this one fits the bill.
Fresh thyme and parsley from my herb garden help create the homemade ,wholesome and highly regarded implement of color and flavor. Calories and fat may be regulated by the type of milk used and properly draining your sausage before creating the gravy. Turkey sausage may be used or even ground beef if desired. I chose to use beef bouillon to help tint the gravy and get away from the ( to me ) off-putting, yet equally delicious color of the regular white gravy version.

- 1 lb. good quality sausage
