Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound breakfast sausage, hot or mild
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 to 4 cups whole milk, more to taste
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, more to taste
Biscuits, warmed, for serving

Steps:

  • With your finger, tear small pieces of sausage and add them in a single layer to a large heavy skillet. Brown the sausage over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Sprinkle on half the flour and stir so that the sausage soaks it all up, then add more little by little. Stir it around and cook it for another minute or so, then pour in the milk, stirring constantly.
  • Cook the gravy, stirring frequently, until it thickens. (This may take a good 10 to 12 minutes.) Sprinkle in the seasoned salt and pepper and continue cooking until very thick and luscious. If it gets too thick too soon, just splash in another 1/2 cup of milk or more if needed. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • Spoon the sausage gravy over warm biscuits and serve immediately!

Tips:

  • To make a large batch of creamy gravy for a crowd, it's important to use a big pot or Dutch oven so you have enough room to whisk and stir the ingredients.
  • Be sure to use a good quality stock or broth as the base of your gravy. This will give it a rich and flavorful foundation.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to create a unique flavor profile for your gravy.
  • If you're using a roux to thicken your gravy, be sure to cook it over low heat until it reaches a light golden color. This will help prevent the gravy from becoming lumpy.
  • When adding the milk or cream to your gravy, be sure to whisk constantly to prevent it from curdling.
  • If you find that your gravy is too thick, you can thin it out with a little bit of water or milk.
  • If you're making gravy ahead of time, be sure to reheat it over low heat until it's warmed through.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you can easily make a big batch of creamy gravy for a crowd. This gravy is perfect for serving over mashed potatoes, roasted meats, or your favorite pasta dish. It's also a great way to add flavor and richness to your favorite casseroles and soups. So next time you're cooking for a crowd, be sure to give this recipe a try.
