Bad Girl For Dinner Tonight! I made Sausage And Gravy!

Bad Girl For Dinner Tonight! I made Sausage And Gravy!

I wanted to tell you about the dinner I fixed tonight. I was tired of being good and eating right but not too tired to make sure that what I had for dinner did have some nutritional value to it.

OK OK! I know but it’s hard for me to be totally bad I don’t have it in me lol. Just once maybe…well never mind that is for another day and something to work toward accomplishing.

 But I wanted to be a little bad and have something really good for dinner tonight and knew just what I was going to make!

I knew what I wanted because of a little shopping trip I made a couple of days ago.

I went to the Dollar General with my neighbor. She was bored and wanted to go shopping so I took her to my favorite Dollar General in Burnt Hills.

While she shopped around looking for her treasures I went over to the food isle to pick up some Lipton’s Ice Tea. It comes in a gallon size for three dollars. I am careful using it because of the calories and the cost of course but I was out of this tea and decided this would be a good time to pick up a gallon while I was there.

After picking up the ice tea I looked around a little and found a new item Dollar General was promoting. They had taken fifty cents off the regular price of this item as an incentive to get people to give it a try.

It was sausage and gravy put out by Libby’s. I know Libby’s is a good product but I was a little skeptical about buying anything with cream in a tin can.

We all know and I am sure we all have experienced how bad   the taste of something can be when the tin has transferred a metallic taste to the product.

In the end I decided to give it a try and added this new product to my purchases for that day and brought it home.

Tonight as I said I was tired of being good about low caloried and nutritious foods so I took the can of sausage and gravy out of the pantry and opened it.

I am a bit of a wimp when it comes to trying new things but finally took a teaspoon and gave the sausage and gravy a try to see if I wanted to cook it. I was pleasantly surprised how good it was.

No metallic taste and it was almost as good as I could have made it.

So tonight I made the sausage and gravy and put it over an English muffin and served it with two eggs on the side.

It was a great meal and very filling.

When I put the rest of the sausage and gravy away I added a squirt of mustard (such a Rochester thing to do!) and added just a little sea salt and fresh ground pepper and it made the taste perfect!

I will buy this product again even at the cost of  dollar fifty a can because I found I only used a third of the can which means it will be good for three meals. Now that makes this a terrific bargain!

The total cost of my dinner tonight was under a dollar fifty.

So if you like sausage and gravy but you don’t like the time or hassle to make it give this product a try I believe you will enjoy it.

Best of all for me I like it when I am bad and it pays off as it did today!
