Ingredients:
1 pound of bacon cut into pieces
1 pound of spicy pork sausage (my twist to it)
1 dozen hard boiled eggs sliced into pieces (like you were making egg salad)
About a cup for flour
About 2-4 cups of milk
Toast or biscuits
Salt and Pepper to taste
Start off by browning your sausage in one pan and cooking your pieces of bacon in a large tall sided skillet. Once the sausage is done remove from heat, once the bacon is crispy remove the bacon and keep the grease in the pan. You are now going to add flour to the grease and mix, some bacons make more grease than others so you may need more or less flour. You are going to add flour and mix with the grease until you make a paste. Then you are going to add milk- this recipe was handed down to me by measuring with my eye- so I’m guessing 4 cups of milk is about right, if once you get all the ingredients in there and feel it needs more milk add more. Stir the milk and paste together and heat up, you will need to stir often to get the paste to dissolve into the milk. After 5 minutes of heating on the stove add in the salt, pepper, bacon, eggs and sausage and mix well. Let stand on a medium low heat stirring occasionally. If it feels too soupy you can add in some corn starch to thicken it up. To do that take about a tablespoon and a half and add in a couple table spoons of water and try to mix it the best you can and slowly add that into the mix, you should feel it thicken up quickly. Heat thoroughly and let stand for five minutes on no heat before serving. Then serve over toast or biscuits. And it stores nicely in the fridge and is even better heated up the next day.
