Tomato Gravy

In case you were wondering what you could smother all over your delicious drop biscuits, or perhaps on that savory pesto waffle you've been meaning to experiment with.

Serves 2-3
Ingredients:

• 1/4 c ground sausage
• 3 T all purpose flour
• 3 tomatoes, wedged/chopped/whatever
• 2 c milk
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
1. Brown the sausage in a skillet.
2. Combine flour and water in a mason jar. Put the top on and shake 'em up for a couple of minutes. It helps the mixture to thicken up appropriately and is quintessential to this process. Read also: it kept me out of my grandpa's hair while he was making breakfast.
3. Once sausage is browned, add tomato, milk and flour to the skillet. Stir together for a few minutes until it comes to a boil. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Slather onto something bread-y and thank me later!

Camper's Sausage Gravy Delight

Travis and I love to go car camping but don't like to skimp on the food. I always like to make sausage gravy at home, put it in a tupperware, and bring it camping in a cooler. It is always so good to wake up after a night of car camping and eat a warm, hearty, home cooked meal. We just throw it in a cast iron on the fire or camp stove, heat it up, and serve with biscuits. I premake the biscuits at home and put them in a zip lock bag. I don't make my own biscuits because Grand's Buttermilk Biscuits are an absolute favorite in our house, and if it ain't broke why fix it?

Ingredients

Serves 4 (or 2 hungry campers)

1/2 pound bulk pork sausage

1 tablespoon butter or margarine

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 3/4 cups milk

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

Directions

In a saucepan, cook the sausage over medium heat until no longer pink. Stir in butter until melted. Sprinkle with flour. Gradually stir in milk, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes, or until thickened. Serve over biscuits or place in a tupperware for later use.
