Country Cuisine-Inspired Snack Bites

The Krystal Sausage & Gravy Bites are Crispy and Delicious

— January 7, 2022 — Lifestyle
The Krystal Sausage & Gravy Bites are a new offering from the QSR brand as part of its Country Fried menu that will provide patrons with a way to enjoy an unexpectedly indulgent snack without having to head to the country fair. The menu item consists of sausage that has been paired with gravy before being rolled into balls and fried until golden brown. The crispy exterior helps to offer a balance to the soft, satisfying ingredients inside and also help to keep everything contained for enjoyment without mess.

The Krystal Sausage & Gravy Bites are crafted with a Southern-style white gravy that's rich, creamy and just a touch peppery to make it perfect for pairing with the sausage and exterior crispy coating.
