COUNTRY SAUSAGE GRAVY

Growing up, we ate this gravy over slices of white bread, sliced ripe tomatoes, scrambled eggs and, of course, biscuits. Sometimes I use maple sausage, sometimes I add 1/4 cup of minced onions and sometimes I add a shake of crushed red pepper. Use your imagination!

Time 30m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb bob evans savory sausage (or just country sausage)
1/2 teaspoon sage
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups water
1 cup milk (2% or whole)
salt and pepper
1 (16 ounce) package of grands buttermilk biscuits (In the Dairy)

Steps:

  • Before you get started, get your biscuit's on a pan following the pkg. directions.
  • While your sausage if frying up, put your biscuits in the oven, by time your done make this, your biscuits will be done, and nice and hot.
  • In a large frying pan, brown your sausage and break it up with a snake potato masher or fork.
  • Once it is nicely browned, pull sausage to the sides of the pan so that the drippings drain into the middle.
  • Spoon a 1/2 cup of the flour into the drippings and mix good till it's nice and brown, add a little more flour if need be.
  • Once you have the flour browned, start folding in the sausage.
  • Mix 2 cups water with 1 cup milk and stir together.
  • Start slowly pouring the milk and water mix into the the sausage mixture,.
  • Only pour what you need to get a nice consistency.
  • (Tip): if you need to add more flour after the milk and water have been added, you need to add the flour to a little cool water, stir till smooth, then add that to your sausage mixture, otherwise like any other gravy, you will get flour lumps.
  • Use your judgement on adding more milk or water to your taste.
  • * Don't forget: heat of flame must be at least Medium High heat so that the flour will expand and smooth out.
  • Once you get it to how you like it, turn your heat down, you don't want to burn your gravy. AND -- the gravy will thicken as it sits, so don't make it too thick.
  • Add salt and pepper and a teaspoons of sage. (the sage is to your taste also, but we've been using it since I was born., and it just makes it wonderful. If you like Bob Evans sausage gravy, you love this even more).
  • Pour over freshly baked buttermilk biscuits -- or your own.
  • ( but if your making your own, make them first before you even think of making this gravy).
  • Enjoy!

CHEESY HASH BROWNS WITH COUNTRY SAUSAGE GRAVY



Cheesy Hash Browns with Country Sausage Gravy image

I worked on this one a bit and played about with the ingredients, and cooking method. The country sausage gravy is pretty traditional. I got it from my ex mother-in-law, man can that lady cook. The hash browns are a bit different because we're going to make then in a waffle iron. So, you ready... Let's get into the...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 17

THE HASH BROWNS
2 medium russet potatoes, peeled, about 1 pound
1/4 medium yellow onion, about 2 ounces
1/4 c freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese, about 1 ounce
1 large egg
1/4 c sour cream
1 Tbsp grapeseed oil
salt, kosher variety, to taste
black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
1 pinch cayenne, or to taste
1 pinch paprika, or to taste
THE COUNTRY SAUSAGE GRAVY
1 c milk, whole fat, at room temperature
1/2 lb good country sausage
2 Tbsp flour, all-purpose variety
salt, kosher variety, to taste
black pepper, freshly ground, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. THE HASH BROWNS
  • 2. Chef's Note: The amount of potatoes used in this recipe will depend on the size, and type of your waffle iron.
  • 3. Gather your ingredients.
  • 4. Using the large holes on a box grater shred the potatoes, and the onion.
  • 5. Lay them on paper towels, and press to remove as much moisture as possible.
  • 6. Add the onions, and the potatoes to a bowl, and then combine with the seasoning, ingredients: salt, pepper, cayenne, and paprika.
  • 7. Place the ingredient in the middle of a tea towel.
  • 8. Squeeze the towel to remove most of the remaining liquid.
  • 9. Chef's Note: The removal of the excess liquid is essential to producing a nice crispy hash brown.
  • 10. Return to the bowl, and carefully mix in the egg, cheddar cheese, and sour cream.
  • 11. Brush the grapeseed oil on the top and bottom portions of the waffle iron.
  • 12. Preheat the waffle iron.
  • 13. Chef's Note: If the waffle iron you are using has a heat setting, place it at 100 percent. This should give you a crispy outside and a soft inside.
  • 14. Add a generous portion of hash browns to the waffle iron.
  • 15. Close the lid and allow them to cook until crispy, about 12 to 15 minutes.
  • 16. Chef's Tip: All waffle irons are different, so the timing for yours might be longer, or shorter. Take a peek now and then.
  • 17. They should look something like this. Crisp on the outside, soft and warm on the inside.
  • 18. THE COUNTRY SAUSAGE GRAVY
  • 19. While the hash browns are cooking, gather your ingredients.
  • 20. Add the sausage to a skillet over medium heat.
  • 21. Cook, breaking up the sausage with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • 22. Whisk the flour and milk together.
  • 23. Add to the cooking sausage.
  • 24. Continue to stir the mixture as it begins to thicken, and then reduce heat to low.
  • 25. At this time begin seasoning the gravy with the salt and pepper... especially the pepper. When I can feel the kick of the pepper in the back of my throat, then I know it's ready.
  • 26. Chef's Note: You can add a lot of seasoning ingredients to a good sausage gravy; however, traditional country gravy is mostly milk, flour, sausage, salt, and pepper.
  • 27. Chef's Tip: Have a bit of extra milk, and flour on hand. Just in case you need to thicken, or thin down the gravy.
  • 28. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 29. Place the hash brown on a nice sized plate.
  • 30. Ladle a generous portion of gravy on top.
  • 31. Finish with sunny-side-up egg. Enjoy.
  • 32. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

CREAMY COUNTRY SAUSAGE & GRAVY



Creamy Country Sausage & Gravy image

The original version of this recipe was passed down from my Grandmother back in Missouri. I've made some improvements. I'll let you figure out what you want to put it on; biscuits are my favorite but this is great on just about anything you might want to put gravy on. I also use Jimmy Dean Sage Sausage and add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes but those are entirely optional.

COUNTRY SAUSAGE GRAVY



Country Sausage Gravy image

This is a family favorite that my dad taught me long ago. It's very filling and if company arrives unexpectedly for breakfast, just add more flour and milk. This recipe works best with a cast iron skillet as it holds heat so well. And besides, it makes the meal more authentic! Serve over buttermilk biscuits.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound pork sausage
1 onion, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
salt and pepper to taste
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon minced fresh sage
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
2 cups milk, divided
2 cubes chicken bouillon
¼ cup minced fresh parsley

Steps:

  • In a skillet on medium heat cook pork, onion, green pepper, red pepper flakes, and garlic until pork is crumbly. Drain off excess fat, but leave a small amount.
  • Combine butter, salt, and pepper with the meat mixture and stir until butter melts. Slowly sift flour over the top. Mix gently and allow mixture to cook for 5 minutes. It will burn, so do not let it sit unguarded. Don't forget to scrape the bottom of the pan. Add the sage and thyme.
  • Slowly stir in milk, about a half a cup at a time, and incorporate it well. When the mixture thickens, add more milk. Do not let it boil vigorously, or it will burn. Add chicken bullion and let cook for five minutes. Again, if it thickens too much, add more milk. Adjust taste with more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Just before serving, add the parsley, and about a 1/4 cup more milk; the gravy will thicken quickly as it cools.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of sausage for a more complex flavor. Try a combination of pork, beef, and/or turkey sausage.
  • If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to every cup of all-purpose flour.
  • To make a gluten-free version of the gravy, use a gluten-free flour blend. You may need to adjust the amount of liquid you add, as gluten-free flours can absorb more liquid than all-purpose flour.
  • If you want a thicker gravy, cook it for longer over low heat. If you want a thinner gravy, add more milk or water.
  • Season the gravy to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You could also add a bit of cayenne pepper for a little kick.
  • Serve the gravy over biscuits, mashed potatoes, or your favorite breakfast casserole.

Conclusion:

Country sausage gravy is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying meal, give country sausage gravy a try. You won't be disappointed!
