Adventure #10: Sausage Gravy Breakfast Burritos

It's no secret that my favorite meal of the day is breakfast. I love breakfast foods! From omelets to breakfast skillets, I can't get enough of eggs, bacon, and hash browns. This morning, I got to thinking and asked myself, "Why not combine two of my favorite breakfast foods into one?" And the Sausage Gravy Breakfast Burrito was born! A perfect combination of the best parts of biscuits and gravy and the classic breakfast burrito. Enjoy!

Sausage Gravy Breakfast Burrito

Ingredients:

• Tortillas
• 1 lb pork sausage
• 8 large eggs
• 1 cup southern style hash browns (the little frozen cubed potatoes)
• 1 package country gravy, prepared
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 Tablespoons butter
• 1 cup shredded cheese

Procedure:

1. Brown sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat.
2. In a separate skillet, cook hash browns in butter until golden brown. Add to browned sausage.
3. Scramble eggs in the skillet used for hash browns until cooked. (I don't really care what skillet you use, but I'm just trying to save you some hassle when it comes to washing dishes. Also be sure to season the eggs as you cook them so that they aren't bland.) When the eggs are cooked, add them to the sausage/hash brown mix and stir together.
4. Pour gravy over the sausage/hash brown/egg mixture and stir together. (You can also add the cheese here so that it begins to melt in with the burrito filling.)
5. Spoon some of the delicious filling into a tortilla and roll it up, folding in the ends so that the filling doesn't squeeze out.
6. Place rolled-up burrito into a hot skillet to crisp up the exterior a little before serving. (If you don't like your burritos crispy, skip this step.)
7. Serve with a tall glass of milk or your favorite juice.
8. Enjoy!
