Who would’ve thought deer sausage could be eaten for breakfast? (I’m sure lots of people). But, this was a pleasant surprise for me. Whether you have pre-seasoned deer breakfast sausage, or regular deer burger, this is a great way to use that meat for a quick breakfast. Slowly incorporating the flour and milk is essential for the right consistency for this recipe. Make the gravy however spicy or sweet as you desire by adding red pepper flakes and pepper. I enjoy my breakfast sausage a bit on the spicy side. The perfect time to make this is after a successful hunt at daybreak on a cold, winter morning.

How to Prepare
