Description
Recipe by Marrow Executive Chef Sarah Welch
This recipe is one that has traveled with Chef Sarah since her days at Parks & Rec, Detroit’s first tiny fine-diner. There she created this foundational gravy recipe and we think any one of our sausages would work well in this application. But the obvious choice is Detroit Breakfast Sausage!
All of our sausages are made with humanely raised meat from Michigan family farmers honoring our commitment to quality fine foods and environmental resiliency.
QUALITY. COMMUNITY. LAND. ANIMAL.
