Breakfast sausage gravy is a very popular traditional accompaniment in American cuisine, especially in the southern United States. Its origin dates back to home-cooked meals where families used simple and inexpensive ingredients to create nutritious and comforting dishes. In other Latin American countries, although it is not as common under this name, there are similar recipes that combine ground meat or sausages with creamy sauces for hearty breakfasts. For example, in Mexico, chorizo or longaniza sauces are used in morning preparations, while in Colombia, different types of minced meats with sauces are used to accompany arepas or eggs.
This gravy is characterized by its creamy texture and robust flavor, ideal for accompanying everything from toast to biscuits or potatoes. It has become popular as a delicious and comforting way to start the day, especially during weekends at family gatherings or brunches.
