I have been looking for a really simple and good sausage & gravy recipe for a while. I substituted the 1% milk for skim milk and it still came out great!
Biscuits and Vegetarian Sausage Gravy
This Biscuits and Vegetarian Sausage Gravy recipe puts a surprising but delicious twist on a classic Southern breakfast. Vegetarian sausage has a firmer texture than pork sausage. Crumbling it helps distribute it evenly throughout the gravy. This quick breakfast has 3 grams of soy protein per serving.
