I'll just throw this out there for you....
Sausage gravy and biscuits are BAD FOR YOU.
All the grease from the sausage and then the extra grease that you add to the sausage to make the gravy is certain to start the clogging process of your arteries.
I put so much butter in my biscuits you should have your cardiologist on speed dial.
BUT if you serve fresh fruit or a green smoothie on the side, all is forgiven.
Right?
OK, maybe not.
Just don't have this often and you will be OK.
Maybe.
I'm not a doctor.
Don't take me at my word.
All I know is that every once in a blue moon my family (me) wants to have a little badness in our lives.
At least we aren't out committing crimes against the world.
Just our own bodies.
Plus Sausage Gravy reminds me of childhood.
Momma use to make this.
Only she made it with Owens Hot Sausage, as this is the ONLY sausage my Daddy liked.
If I could find Owens I would use Owens.
However I haven't lived anywhere that carries Owens for a long time.
I have to settle for Jimmy Dean.
Don't get me wrong, Jimmy Dean is not bad, he is just not Owen.
