My thoughts:

Let's hold out honest, sausage gravy doesn't await appetizing on a adept day, no thing how tasty it is, in addition to throw inwards chorizo which turns the whole mess an "interesting" shade of orange, good it isn't going to win whatsoever beauty contests. I garnished it alongside some garlic chives but really, aught is saving this. Luckily, nutrient does non direct keep to await pretty to hold out delicious!

I've had the stance of making it alongside chorizo for ages straightaway but never got roughly to genuinely making it. I saw a perfect foursquare of mass chorizo inwards the supermarket terminal calendar week in addition to hence I popped it inwards the cart thinking I'd freeze it for after use. Then this freak March tempest came in addition to nosotros are stuck hither in addition to hence I stance straightaway is my direct a opportunity to brand the sausage gravy of my dreams. I volition say, this is a exceptional process form of breakfast (or lunch, inwards our case) what alongside the sausage, the gravy, in addition to the cheddar-spiked biscuits but it is worth it! It is every bit good surprisingly piece of cake to make, land the biscuits are cooling, brand the gravy in addition to the whole thing from starting the biscuits to making the gravy entirely takes close xl minutes. Depending on how spicy yous similar it in addition to how spicy your sausage is, experience costless to add together some cayenne to the sausage every bit it is cooking. The terminate number is great: spicy sausage gravy tempered yesteryear the sudden cheddar-spiked biscuits. H5N1 feisty, fiery twist on a Southern classic.
