Breakfast Sloppy Joe's

Holy cow but these were good! IT Guy was all over these for dinner and there was enough leftover that he had some for breakfast, too! These would be great to serve at a breakfast buffet type event but like I said....we had them for dinner because I have an aversion to eating breakfast food for breakfast. No kidding, you guys....try them SOON!

Breakfast Sloppy Joes



1 8-pack package of English Muffins
1 pound breakfast sausage
2 cups grated cheese
8 eggs
2 cups milk plus a little extra for the scrambled eggs
1/4 cup flour
1/4 drippings from cooked sausage OR 1/4 cup butter
Salt and pepper to taste

Lightly toast English Muffins then place on a cookie sheet.

In a large cast iron skillet, cook sausage until done. Remove cooked sausage to a plate.

Pour off all but 1/4 cup drippings (or use butter if there's not enough drippings). Stir in flour and cook for 3 - 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

Pour in the milk, salt and pepper to taste and cook and stir until thick.

Stir cooked sausage into the gravy. Set aside but keep warm.

In a clean skillet, scramble the eggs with a little milk, salt and pepper.

Spoon sausage gravy over the English Muffins then add some scrambled eggs.

Sprinkle cheese over the top and broil on high for a minute or two to melt the cheese and warm through.

 
Let's go!

 
Toast the muffins and place 
them on a cookie sheet.

 
Cook the sausage then remove from 
the skillet, leaving 1/4 cup fat in the 
 pan. I had to use 1/4 cup butter because 
my sausage rendered almost no fat at all.

 
Pour in the flour and cook 
and stir for a few minutes.

 
Then pour in the milk and allow to 
thicken. Then add the sausage and stir.

 
Scramble the eggs with a little milk.

 
Start building your sloppy joes! 
Heat under the broiler to melt the cheese.

 
Plate 'em up!
