TVP Sausage Gravy

This is a perfect compliment to my drop biscuit recipe for a hot breakfast! The great thing about this recipe is that it is much cheaper than buying the pre-packaged sausage from the grocery store. TVP is usually very cheap in bulk at health food stores. It is also healthier than the grocery sausage like LightLife, because it doesn't have all the preservatives that are needed to keep it fresh. I am not trying to dis the LightLife sausage, but this recipe is a great alternative to it when you want something a little different!

Note! I actually add 1/4 of a cup of ground flax seeds to this gravy to give it a boost in nutrition. Flax seeds are powerhouses of nutrition, and I always try to get my daily dose early in the day!
