Introduction

Growing up in the South, sausage gravy was a staple on our breakfast table, so I wanted to create a healthier version--with a secret ingredient. Growing up in the South, sausage gravy was a staple on our breakfast table, so I wanted to create a healthier version--with a secret ingredient.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 large onion, chopped

2 cups (about 8 ounces) mushrooms, chopped*

2 tablespoons white whole wheat flour

Tips

My version of Buttermilk Biscuits and Sausage Gravy has about 1/2 the fat and less than 10% of the sodium of a restaurant version of biscuits and gravy!

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a saute pan. Add the onions and turn the heat to medium-high. After 2 minutes, add the mushrooms, stirring well. Once the mushrooms are dark brown in color, 3-4 minutes later, add the flour and stir constantly for one minute. Add the spices, then slowly pour in the milk. Stir until a smooth sauce forms, then simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

Serving Size: Makes 2 cups, 1/2 cup per serving.
