Ingredients

4 medium hard boiled eggs (still hot)
4 pats of butter
salt and pepper
4 medium homemade biscuits or pillsbury store bought
4 slice fresh made bacon
POORMANS GRAVY
bacon grease
butter
flour
a little milk too

Steps:

1. Prepare your bisquits and fry up your bacon and boil your eggs. Peel your eggs while still hot and slice them up or mash with a fork like my Grandpa Campbell did.
2. Now, add your pats of butter and generous amount of pepper and a little salt.
3. Make up your gravy with the pan grease from the bacon a little butter and flour mix all together in a pan. Add a little milk if you want your gravy thinner.
4. Get your biscuits and open the up and pour your poormans' gravy over them and add your mashed eggs on top with 2 slices of bacon. You are ready to eat. We only make poorman'ts gravy once a month if that. Try not to enduldge in it too much. :-) But, boy did my Grandpa love his poorman's gravy!!
5. This is normally how I eat my mashed eggs over one slice of low calorie toast. Not quite as yummy but still tasty and of course a pickle to go with it since I'm not getting any bacon! hehe

Tips:

For the Grandpa's Eggs recipe, use fresh eggs for the best flavor and texture. Free-range or organic eggs are a great choice.
When cooking the eggs, be careful not to overcook them. The yolks should be cooked through but still slightly runny.
For the Poor Man's Gravy recipe, use a good quality sausage. A spicy sausage will give the gravy a nice kick, while a mild sausage will result in a more subtle flavor.
Be sure to brown the sausage well before adding the flour. This will help to develop the flavor of the gravy.
When adding the milk to the gravy, whisk constantly to prevent lumps from forming.

Grandpa's Eggs and Poor Man's Gravy are two classic dishes that are easy to make and delicious to eat. These recipes are perfect for a quick and easy breakfast or dinner. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a meal that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give these recipes a try.
