Cajun Sausage Gravy And Biscuits (W / Pics)

[tx smoker]

Well, I just had to go and do it. When I posted the breakfast the other day featuring the Cajun gravy, there were several comments about making it with sausage and serving over biscuits. Despite what Al jokingly said in a different thread, I really do have a job. I just don't have to work very may hours. I had a couple stops to make this morning, got those done, and was home by 7:00. Not a bad gig considering I still get paid for the whole day. Started thinking it was time to make some breakfast and remembered back to those comments about the Cajun sausage gravy so decided to give it a run.

Got some homemade smoked Cajun sausage out of the freezer and defrosted it

Chop it up pretty small

Into a pan with a couple tablespoons of butter

Heat the sausage, melt the butter, add flour and Cajun spice mix to make the roux

Add milk and a twist or two of ground black pepper

Gravy all done

Biscuits out of the oven

Split biscuits, top with sausage gravy, and chow down!!

I was amazed at how good this came out. MY concern was that it may be too salty being that the sausage and the spice mix have salt. Didn't need to worry about that. The flour toned the salt down to a perfect level. It took a couple bites to get my brain wrapped around the concept of Cajun sausage for breakfast, but once wrapped, I thoroughly enjoyed this. It was different, creative, and certainly outside the box, but all in a very good way. This will get done again, I can promise you that.

Full belly again,

Looks damn good Robert! Points for sure. I know I was thinking sausage when I saw your original thread and was thinking crumbled breakfast sausage but this is a way better idea. Like the Cajun sausage and gravy mix. You nailed it.

Thanks Steve. If you find yourself needing more spice mix just let me know my friend and I'll get it off in the mail. Heck, I'm headed to the post office shortly to send enough spice mix for 20# of sausage to Ontario, Canada. Now that I think about it, that's probably not too far from you

Very much appreciate it John. I was very surprised how good this was. Like Steve though, I'm down to a couple of links. May be time to make some more.

That’s one of my favorite breakfasts and you kicked it up a notch.

I’ll have to make this, just need to set some sausage aside for it.

Looks tasty! One thing that I would add... real butter on the biscuits and then the gravy.
