Breakfast Smashburgers with Sausage Gravy

Ingredients

• 12 sausage patties (completely thawed)
• 6 muffins or biscuits
• 6 slices cheddar cheese
• 6 eggs
• Bacon bits
• 1 packet Country Gravy mix
• 2 cups milk
• 1/2 lb ground breakfast sausage

Method

1. Preheat a griddle to about 450-500°F and coat with a high smoke point oil like avocado oil to get a good crust on the patties.
2. Place sausage patties on the griddle and smash flat, cooking about 2 minutes per side, then set aside.
3. Grease large canning lid rings and place on the griddle. Crack an egg into each ring, break the yolk, and season with salt and pepper.
4. In a separate area, cook the ground breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned, then remove.
5. Whisk the country gravy mix into the milk over heat until thickened, then stir in the cooked sausage. Add more milk if the gravy is too thick.
6. Assemble each sandwich with gravy, a sausage patty, an egg, another patty, cheese, bacon bits, and a final spoonful of gravy on the muffin or biscuit.
