Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound breakfast sausage
1/4 cup flour
3 cups milk
Seasoned salt and freshly ground pepper
Fresh herbs (, optional)
12 biscuits

Steps:

  • In a large frying pan or skillet, cook breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking apart into crumbles as it cooks.
  • When cooked, approximately 10 minutes, remove meat using a slotted spoon. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Reserve rendered pork fat.
  • Reduce heat to low and stir in flour. Continue to stir until it makes a paste and turns a light brown.
  • Add 1/4 cup milk, whisking or stirring well using the back of a spoon to break apart the flour clumps. Whisk until smooth. Add remaining milk in 3 stages, whisking after each to prevent lumps.
  • Add reserved sausage back to the pan, tossing to combine. Taste the gravy to determine how much seasoned salt is necessary and then add slowly, tasting along to way to determine the correct amount. Follow the same guidelines with black pepper.
  • Spoon over dish of your choice. Or eat with a spoon. I won't judge.

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!

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.

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons butter, divided
1 medium onion, chopped
1 lb pork sausage
6 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 quart milk

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon butter in large skillet, add finely chop onions and cook over medium-high heat until they become translucent.
  • Add sausage and cook until done; drain excess, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter and remaining dry ingredients.Mix evenly and cook until golden, stirring occasionally.
  • Slowly stir in Worcestershire sauce and milk; bring to boil.
  • Reduce heat to low and cook until gravy reaches desired thickness, stirring frequently.
  • Remove from heat and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality sausage. The better the sausage, the better the gravy will be.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when you're browning the sausage. This will prevent the sausage from cooking evenly.

  • Add the milk and cream slowly. This will help to prevent the gravy from curdling.
  • Season the gravy to taste. You may want to add salt, pepper, or other spices to taste.
