Biscuits: At home, prepare biscuits from
a box mix such as Bisquick, or for a quick
fi x, buy refrigerated biscuits and bake
ahead of time. Pack in a hard container
so they don't get smashed on the way to
the blind.
Gravy: The night before, brown a
package of sausage – I like Jimmy Dean's.
Move the cooked sausage to one side of
the pan, and then add 2 cups of milk to
the sausage grease. Heat up the milk and
grease, and then add ½ cup of fl our and
stir with a fork until the lumps are gone.
Next, stir in the sausage, and continue
to whisk in more fl our, a little at a
time, until gravy thickens to desired
consistency. Add salt and pepper
to taste.
If you're unable to make gravy
from scratch, buy a dry, white gravy
packet and follow the directions.
Pour the sausage gravy into a
sturdy container to take to the
blind.
Eggs: In the blind, add whisked eggs into
a hot pan and scramble. When set, move
the eggs to the side of the pan, and then
pour in pre-made gravy to reheat. Place

biscuits on top of the eggs to warm them,
fl ipping once or twice.
This is a hearty breakfast – serve on paper
plates that won't bend.
