Buttermilk	---	2 cups
Burger patties, 4 oz. each	---	4 ea.
Unsalted butter	1/2 lb.	---

Preparation

Combine TABASCO® Green Sauce in with buttermilk; place burger patties into mixture.

In a medium pot over medium heat, add butter and onions; cook until translucent. Add sausage in quarter-sized crumbles. Add 2 cups flour and thyme; stir until flour has absorbed the butter.

Stir espresso, then slowly pour in whole milk; reduce to a low simmer. Add TABASCO® Original Red Sauce to season before serving.

Dip each soaking burger patty into remaining 1/2 cup flour, back into the buttermilk, then once again into flour; fry burgers at 350ºF until golden brown.

Place each crispy burger atop a biscuit bottom so it looks like a muffin top. Ladle sausage gravy over top, lean the top of the biscuit on the side, and garnish with minced chives.
