CLASSIC SAUSAGE GRAVY



Classic Sausage Gravy image

A staple in Southern households, this sausage gravy can be served over grits but goes beautifully with biscuits too.

Provided by JimmyDean

Categories     Pork Gravy

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
1/2 (1-pound) package Jimmy Dean Premium Pork Sausage
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon sliced green onions, or to taste

Steps:

  • In a small frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat for about 30 seconds. Add Jimmy Dean sausage and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until browned, stirring frequently to break up the sausage into small pieces, then drain.
  • Add flour and mix well with the sausage. Reduce heat to medium and add 1 cup of milk, stirring to prevent any flour lumps. Add the remaining milk and the salt and pepper. Bring heat up to medium-high for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sauce bubbles up to the top of the pan (do not allow it to boil over).
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, stirring the sauce frequently until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
  • Serve over cooked grits or biscuits, and top with green onions.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality sausage: The sausage is the star of this dish, so make sure you use a good quality one. Look for a sausage that is made with fresh, flavorful meat and has a good balance of spices.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of sausage: There are many different types of sausage available, so feel free to experiment until you find one that you really like. Some good options include chorizo, kielbasa, andouille, and breakfast sausage.
  • Make sure the roux is cooked properly: The roux is the thickening agent for the gravy, so it's important to make sure it's cooked properly. Cook the roux over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches a deep golden brown color.
  • Add some vegetables to the gravy: Vegetables can add flavor and texture to the gravy. Some good options include onions, bell peppers, and celery.
  • Season the gravy to taste: The gravy should be well-seasoned with salt, pepper, and other spices. Taste the gravy as you're making it and adjust the seasonings as needed.

Conclusion:

Sausage gravy over grits or biscuits is a classic Southern dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
