The right way to start any day, but especially a Sublime and Beautiful Sunday, is with the breakfast of champions. Now what the breakfast of champions might consist of may vary from person to person, but for me it would consist of eggs, bacon, and biscuits with sausage and gravy. For this post though, I will concentrate on just making the sausage gravy.
Now I love Bob Evans sausage gravy and that is the high mark that I aim for when cooking it myself at home. Of course the sausage is the foundational ingredient to the recipe, so I recommend using Bob Evans sausage. I always opt for the original flavor and steer clear from the spicy choice. Other brands of sausage can be used in a pinch, but additional seasoning will be required.
A journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step and this journey of food delight begins with browning the sausage.
Now add a chunk of butter.
Toss in a handful of flour.
Pour in a little milk in stir.
Rinse and repeat until you have a nice thick gravy that is of the desired consistency.
Add in a little Worcestershire sauce…
Trust me on this, a little soy sauce goes a long way for a deep rich flavor as well as an appealing color.
I prefer to use butter swim biscuits which are super easy to make.
Looking good but still lacking a key ingredient...
This is like the proverbial cherry on top.
Some locally grown light sweet honey really sets it off!!
