I had a huge craving for biscuits and sausage gravy.

I was delighted to discover that those gravy packets you can buy (in this case, country gravy) don't contain meat. So I bought some vegetarian sausage, warmed it up, and crumbled it into the cooked gravy mix. I added red pepper flakes to taste.

I am not sure I would have known the difference. I kept snitching the *sausage" gravy for the next two days.

Oh yeah, and scratch biscuits may have helped.
