MUSHROOM GRAVY

 Another MAJOR craving. 

There is a restaurant back home (Sweet Lake Biscuits and Limeade, defs would recommend) that showed me that it was possible to have this staple comfort breakfast meal. I never really loved gravy. It was always weird to me that we would mix some potato water or milk + flour slurry into sausage grease and serve it like a soup with biscuits. Ooooo it makes me cringe. In my opinion, mushroom gravy tastes SOOOO much better and isn't really that weird. I add this hearty gravy to my biscuits and mashed potatoes. It even gets to make an appearance on the table for the best day of the year (Thanksgiving, duh.) 

Here it is...

Mushroom Gravy Recipe:

1/2 cup sliced baby bella mushrooms

1 cup vegetable broth

1 Tablespoons milk

1/2 Tablespoons flour

onion and herb seasoning (Mrs. Dash is the best!)

salt and pepper

1. heat a medium pan over medium-high heat

2. add sliced mushrooms to heated pan and cook until mushrooms release their juices, and soak them back up

3. lightly season with salt and pepper then remove mushrooms from pan

4. reduce heat to medium and add vegetable stock 

5. in a separate bowl, bake a slurry using your flour and milk

6. once the stock has come to a boil, reduce heat again to low and slowly add the slurry to the stock

7. whisk the gravy until the flour is incorporated, then season the gravy to your liking. I use onion and herb seasoning from Mrs. Dash and a little salt and pepper.

8. add mushrooms back into the mixture and serve

🌱if you're looking for a vegan gravy, use your favorite unflavored milk substitute 

I absolutely love to make a breakfast sandwich topped with this. Its a great weekend brunch meal! 

MY FAVORITE BISCUIT RECIPE

To make this delicious sandwich I will... 

• pull the biscuit in half (hamburger style)
• put cheddar cheese on one of the halves and broil that piece of biscuit until the cheese melts
• fry an egg (over medium cause the runny yolk is the best with biscuits)
• stack it up and top with mushroom gravy

🥓If you're down for some meat, add your choice of breakfast meat! My man prefers bacon.
