Description

We took our favorite waffle mix and jazzed it up for a special weekend breakfast! All you do is assemble gravy and pour it over your savory waffle with a little garnish.

Ingredients

Scale

1 pound of breakfast sausage
about 3 tablespoons all purpose flour (we used Cup4Cup)
about ½ to 1 cup milk (we used 2%)
salt and pepper to taste
your favorite pancake or waffle mix (we used Bisquick G-Free) with all of the ingredients per box direction to prepare
about one cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese
about 8 green onions, chopped (reserve some for garnish)

Instructions

Take your breakfast sausage and slice it into round patties (about 10 to 12 slices).
In a large skillet over medium heat, lay your sausage across the bottom and let it fry up on both sides (I don’t add oil because the sausage will give us enough fat). After a few minutes, flip to make sure you’re cooking both sides. When your sausage is cooked through, remove to a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Next, take your flour and sprinkle it over your sausage drippings in your skillet and stir about a minute. After that, whisk in your milk slowly (adding more if necessary) and reduce the heat to low. Keep whisking until your gravy begins to thicken up (add milk if it’s too thick). Sprinkle salt and pepper in your gravy.
Meanwhile, you need to prepare your waffle mix per the box directions. Once you have it prepared, stir in your sharp cheddar and green onions. Add waffle batter to hot waffle iron to make up your savory waffles.
When it’s time to eat, just assemble! Waffle plus some sausage gravy with crumbled sausage (from your patties) on top and a few chopped green onions.

Notes

Since we use gluten-free flour, our gravy doesn’t brown up quite as much as a normal all purpose flour and thickens a little quicker too. However you make your gravy (even with bacon!), make it for this and crumble your protein on top!
