mid-week meal share: sausage gravy hash brown skillet

I started composing this post on 4/13 and now 4 days later.. Dun, dunna, dunnnnnn! An Average Mom Blog "original recipe"! No, I'm sure I'm not the first person to ever think of this combination but I was inspired by a dish from our favorite Coney Island.


Easy to concoct: you will need to multitask.
Cost effective: yes, but I don't have my receipt.



Here's what you're gonna need:


*lack of photo since I was adding as I went along*


half a bag of frozen shredded hash browns
1 tbsp olive oil
salt
pepper
onion powder
4 eggs
sausage links
ground sausage
2-3 cups milk
3-4 tbsp flour
CHEESE!




1. In a pan start browning up your hash browns with olive oil and season with as much salt, pepper, and onion powder as you deem desirable. Also at this time I prepped my scrambled egg mixture.



2. In a separate pan start browning your ground sausage for your sausage gravy.


3. Begin cooking your sausage links. Really, I would cook them in the same pan as your ground sausage. Initially I tried cutting them into pieces before I cooked them, but this method did not work out so well. Cooking them with the hash browns also proved to be slightly difficult.



4. Once the ground sausage is browned, do not drain and add 3-4 tbsp of flour and cook until 'browned'.



5. Remove sausage links from the skillet and cut into pieces; pour eggs into skillet and scramble away.



6. Add enough milk into your ground sausage and flour so that it covers the sausage; while initially I did not add that much because I was nervous there would be too much it was simply too thick to be considered gravy.



7. Add your 'diced' sausage links back into the hash brown mixture (and cook them until they are properly done like I had to do).



8. Top with your sausage gravy and enjoy!



Yeah, I should have written out instructions before attempting to make this one. FOR SURE should have cooked both sausages in one pan. I thought cooking the the links in the same pan as the hash browns would have been the most efficient but nope; ya live and ya learn I guess. Our hash browns turned out a little crispier than I had intended but it was still a good one. Options are endless with adding different vegetables, meats, cheeses, or spices.

Holy shit. I didn't add any cheese! I'm ashamed and mortified.



For shame.
