Southeastern Mills Gravy Mix

[Great Northwet]

Well since we are a prep board, I thought I should share this.

Dad had to go to the retirement home 3 years ago, and being good offspring that we are, naturally, we looted his hoard. Well, it wasn't quite that simple. The problem was that dad, like several of us, hoards food-he grew up during the depression-but couldn't take it all with him since all of his meals are provided for him.

So of course, some things go beyond the expiration dates.

Last night after work I stopped by a local pub for a beer, and a 14" hoagie to go. The sandwich was bland(ham & swiss).

So today, I found in the upper cupboard this mix. The expiration date was 12/31/07, so I open faced the sandwich, and just dumped it on to it.

I just followed the intructions and got 3+ cups of gravy. Tasted fine. Could be used for pork, eggs, possibly some starches.

I've never heard of it before. I don't know where dad got it(Possibly Navy Exchange).

3+ yrs. after expiration date. Tastes great. Could be used in camping/survival gear.

It's called Southeasten Mills Country Gravy Mix.

Anyone know about this stuff?

I think I see these at the bread stores. I prefer Pioneer Gravy Mix!

Search for gravy mix at amazon, they have bulk bags of it, not that brand, but lots of others! I've bought pounds of it from them. It's the cheapest way to stock up on gravy mix.
I've bought Southeastern Mills pretty often, but I'm southern and I love white gravy, so I usually get the pepper gravy or peppered sausage gravy that they make. YUM! I've never tried any other flavors.
Try the pepper gravy over biscuits.

Yep, I use the Southeastern Mills sausage gravy everytime I do a big weekend breakfast for a crowd of 30+ when I'm at Lake Chelan, Wa.

We have a number of houses of friends on the same driveway over at Sunny Bank and when they know I'm in town, all of the families and they're guests come over (they know they don't need an invite) for the big saturday or sunday breakfast (depending on how I feel the next morning *wink*) and they Always look forward to what they call my 'Tennessee Breakfast' because my husband's from Nashville and he always wants this. Anyway, I buy three to four tubes of the Jimmy Dean Hot sausage, slice it up and fry it, smashing the patties flat so they cook evenly (keep the cooked ones warm by putting them covered in a foiled pan in the oven). At the same time I have a baking sheet with about 24 to 32 Pillsbury frozen Southern style biscuits in the oven (I bake them on convection) and they puff up to a nice powdery buttermilk texture on the outside.

And last but not least I use two to three packets of the Southeastern Mills sausage gravy (peppered if I cant' find the sausage flavor) and make up the gravy so it's a nice consistancy. There is nothing left of the meal, it's so good! V

Edited to add... I always have a container of sour cream out as the proper way to do biscuits and gravy is to split the biscuit, place a dollop of sour cream on it (to hold the patties in place of course), then the sausage patty and ladle gravy over the whole thing.

I've been known to catch a fish, or two, when I'm in the area. If you ever need another uninvited guest...
