I had bulk Italian sausage and some waffles left over from breakfast…and Dave and I were outside all day working in the garden.
Dave expends many, many calories working at his job, and around here so this high calorie filling waffle meal is perfect for him.

How to Make Sausage Gravy:
Ingredients Notes:
- The Sausage: Nathan uses Jimmy Dean bulk Pork Italian sausage. Any bulk Italian sausage or your favorite breakfast sausage will work.
- Chipotle seasoning adds LOTs of great flavor to this recipe. Be careful if you are choosing a different sausage than mild italian. The flavors may blend differently.
- Fresh chopped garlic is a better choice than garlic powder. You’ll enjoy the texture and increased flavor of the garlic bits in the gravy.
