SAUSAGE GRAVY



Sausage Gravy image

There are certain recipes that are hallmarks of the South's comfort food. From fried chicken to grits, some recipes are non-negotiable Southern staples. And if you ask us, sausage gravy belongs in that tasty canon. If you haven't had homemade sausage gravy since the last time your grandmother made it, you might be surprised to know that it's not as difficult to make as you might think. All it takes is three ingredients plus salt and pepper along with some whisking to whip up this down-home favorite. The trick to a great country gravy is to brown the sausage in a skillet until it has a deep caramelization on the outside. Not only will the sausage taste better, the drippings will have also have a richer, tastier flavor to impart in the roux. Since this recipe uses such few ingredients, it's important to find the best quality of each ingredient that you can. We promise you'll taste the difference if you use a high-quality whole milk from the grocery store or the farmers market. What's the best way to serve it? There's the classic settings like biscuits, chicken fried steak, or grits, but we also like to serve it with shrimp, rice, and a drizzle of Tabasco hot sauce.

Time 30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pound ground pork sausage
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups milk

Steps:

  • Place sausage in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Remove sausage, drain and set aside.

Reduce heat to low and let roux cook at least 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Grandma always "burned" hers a little on purpose.

Add more milk if a thinner gravy is desired. You may also add some of the cooked and crumbled sausage to the gravy.

SAUSAGE GRAVY

Time 25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound bulk pork breakfast sausage
¼ cup all-purpose flour, or instant flour like Wondra
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
2½ cups whole milk
Salt to taste
ground sage to taste (optional)
ground fennel to taste (optional)
ground red pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Set a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until it is loose and no longer pink, approximately 10 minutes. Taste sausage and adjust seasonings - you may wish to add sage and fennel aggressively.
  • Sprinkle the flour and pepper over the sausage and cook, stirring constantly, until the flour has been absorbed by the fat and has gathered its flavors close, approximately 2 to 5 minutes.
  • Slowly stir in the milk and cook at a bare simmer until the gravy gets thick and the roux covers the back of a spoon. If it is too thick for your liking add more milk and stir. Check seasonings and serve over split or roughly crumbled biscuits.

AWESOME SAUSAGE GRAVY



Awesome Sausage Gravy image

I've been fiddling around trying to make a perfect sausage gravy for years and I think I finally hit on it with this one. My spices and seasonings are never actually "measured," so play around with them until it suits you! Just a disclaimer: this gravy is NOT for the health conscious! I use fat-free milk to kind of counteract the creams and sausage, but this definitely isn't a "diet-friendly" food!

Provided by ameliebella

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 lb mild sausage (you can use less, but more is more, I say)
3 tablespoons cornstarch (heaping)
2 1/2 cups nonfat milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon sour cream, room temperature
1 -2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons seasoning salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Brown and crumble sausage until its crispy. I like to burn mine just a little. Don't worry, it re-hydrates when you add the milk and creams.
  • While browning, mix 1 1/2 cup milk with the cornstarch. Add in the softened sour cream and mix thoroughly. Combine the remaining milk and heavy cream.
  • Once sausage is browned (don't drain off all of the fat, leave at least a few teaspoons), reduce heat to medium-low and pour in the milk/cornstarch/sour cream mixture. Stir constantly until it just begins to thicken. Add spices.
  • Once the mixture has begun to thicken, add the milk and cream and increase temperature to medium high, stirring constantly, until it begins to bubble. Once it has started bubbling, reduce again to medium low. It needs a lot of attention, so keep stirring until it has reached your desired consistency. Make sure you keep tasting it too! Add more salt and pepper as needed.
  • Serve over hot biscuits or grits or eggs or whatever you like your sausage gravy on!

Tips:

  • For a smoother gravy, whisk the flour and milk together in a small bowl before adding it to the skillet.
  • If you don't have breakfast sausage, you can use ground pork or ground beef.
  • Add some chopped vegetables, such as onions, peppers, or mushrooms, to the gravy for extra flavor.
  • Serve the gravy over biscuits, waffles, or pancakes.
  • For a vegetarian gravy, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and omit the sausage.

Conclusion:

Sausage gravy is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it spicy, savory, or mild, there's a sausage gravy recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a hearty and comforting meal, give sausage gravy a try. You won't be disappointed!
