Re-heats well or not? Sausage gravy

I have decided that biscuits and gravy is near the very top of my "favorites" list of breakfast meals.

I could easily eat this several times per week. However, I don't necessarily want to prepare it several times a week.

Food prices can often make experimentation cost-prohibitive to home cooks on a budget.

Does sausage gravy re-heat well?

But I used to make it a lot and freeze it. Love it on top of omelettes, my wife is not a fan of it.

Tastes fine thawed and re heated.

Thaw overnight and add some milk while warming. Good as new.

I will stay a week and will expect fresh sausage grave on day 1 then divide the remaining sausage gravy into 6 separate containers to be frozen and eaten each morning.

let me know your availability. this is truly the simplest way to answer your question.

Try out a batch using “impossible” meat crumbles with appropriate seasoning, or a good vegetarian sausage crumbled up. It tastes much better than I originally expected.

sausage gravy in the microwave and don't have any problems. Since you like sausage gravy I'll give you this quick meal recipe:

Make mashed potatoes (either scratch or the kind you nuke)

Nuke a package of sweet corn (not the giant bag but the smaller SteamFresh size)

Nuke a can of sausage gravy (I use Libby's because it is good and it's low priced)

While everything is hot dump the mashed potatoes onto a plate in a heap. Mash a little moat around the edge.

Mix the corn and sausage gravy together in a bowl. Dump this on top of the mashed potatoes.

Salt and pepper to taste. The combo gives a nice mix of "sweet/savory" flavor and a nice chew texture between the
sausage bits/corn/potatoes.

The sweet corn really adds to the combo. This could be great over sweet potatoes as well.

I never even thought of using canned sausage gravy.

In fact, I didn't know there was such a thing.

up a little more in the fridge, so when reheating I add just a little milk or water to thin it out a little before nuking.

Whenever I make it I make a whole batch and then enjoy it for several breakfast sittings, only reheat the part you'll be using, leave the rest in the fridge.

You can nuke it or warm it in a pan, works either way, just don't overheat.
