Breakfast Bowls

Not the best photo, but if you click on it you can get a better idea what it's like.

This summer has been largely spent in the kitchen for me. The boys, and Doug, have had different work schedules and keeping them fed has been quite a job! Caleb leaves before 7 am and needs a hearty breakfast since he is doing physical work outside all day. This is something I came up with after seeing something similar in the pre-made section at the store. I make a couple at a time and pop them in the refrigerator and all he has to do is warm them up and he has a homemade breakfast that is going to stick with him longer than sugary cereal...not that I haven't had cereal around, cause sometimes this cook is sick of cooking!

Here's what I do to make these little puppies...

1 envelope of gravy mix, made to package direcitons,
you could totally make your own, but for me this is fool proof

4 sausage links, cooked (you could use any breakfast meat)

1 1/2 cups of frozen hash brown potatoes, cooked

3 large eggs, scrambled and seasoned to your liking

Once everything is cooked, I assemble them in a small tupperware type container, potatoes, eggs, sausage and then top it all with about 3/4 cup of gravy.

Season with more salt and pepper to taste.

To heat, remove lid and microwave 1 minute. Check to see if heated through, if not, put it back in for 30 more seconds and check again. Repeat if necessary.

These amounts make 2 bowls.
