There are myriad methods to add heat to sausage gravy, but none will brighten and spice it as easily as adding a can of Ro-Tel diced tomatoes and green chilies (via MyRecipes). The acidity of the tomatoes shines against the backdrop of the silky sauce's cream and fat, imparted from the dairy and pork. Meanwhile, the chilies add a zesty element of heat that plain pepper just can't deliver. As an added bonus, the cost of a can of Ro-Tel, even in the most trying economic times, is fairly low, keeping in line with the history of this frugal breakfast feast.
Options abound, too, when adding Ro-Tel to your sausage gravy. For those who are spice-sensitive, the mild or original version may work well while the hot style is the way to go for heat-seekers. Ro-Tel's fire-roasted version can also lend a whole new element of earthy flavor.
You can stick with tradition and serve up your sausage gravy over traditional Southern biscuits, but there is also no limit to the canvases that can lay as the foundation to your newly spiced-up sausage gravy. Try topping scrambled eggs, grits (another Southern staple), eggs Benedict, or even thick fried green tomatoes with this spicy sauce.
