Ingredients:


 Directions:
  1. Toast Bread
  2. Meanwhile, in a large non-stick skillet or medium stock pot over medium-high heat, "brown" Sausage
  3. Mix in Flour until Sausage is coated & Flour is dissolved
  4. Slowly stir in Milk, cook Gravy until thick & bubbly, stirring constantly
  5. Season
  6. Ladle Sausage Gravy over Bread

Hoff Thoughts: Currently, I can't find vegan, gluten-free biscuits, so I use Schar's Deli Style Sourdough bread.  Also, the only gluten-free sausage I can find is Beyond Meat's Sausage.  Both make a super yummy, super indulgent breakfast.  I typically only make this for Christmas breakfast, once year. Ho Ho Ho!
