For 7 days, I’ll be celebrating my family’s love of all things waffle by working with Eggo to put together a week’s worth of “out of the box” style recipes, to celebrate the Great Eggo Waffle Off contest {see details below}. For today’s recipe, we created a “Breakfast for Dinner” style meal, featuring the Eggo Homestyle waffles. It.Was.Amazing.
Waffles and Sausage Gravy
One of my favorite things ever is biscuits and gravy. So, I thought it might be fun to change it up – we swapped in Eggo waffles instead of biscuits, added a bunch of maple sausage into the gravy to make it heartier for a dinnertime meal, and topped it with gooey melted cheese and crispy bacon bits. {Because everything is better with bacon!} It was so simple, and the slightly sweet flavor of the waffles perfectly complimented the maple flavor of the sausage gravy. Seriously, amazing.
Recipe For Eggo Waffles and Sausage Gravy
Ingredients
- Eggo Waffles - Any variety
- 1 1/2 lb Maple Sausage
- 1 stick of butter
- 1/3 cup flour
- 2 cups of milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon if desired
Instructions
- Cook the maple sausage on medium heat until well done.
- Melt one stick of butter in a pan - but don't let it burn. Once melted, quickly add the flour and milk, and stir continuously for about 8 minutes.
- Turn heat to low, and let gravy thicken for a minute or two. Add salt and pepper to taste - I prefer lots of coarse ground pepper.
- Toast the Eggo waffles extra crispy, so that they hold up well with the thickness of the gravy.
- Place your toasted waffles on a plate, top with the gravy. And if you're not on a diet {lol} - sprinkle some shredded cheese and crispy bacon bits on top.
- Eat and enjoy with a smile :)
