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!

Bulk Country Sausage Gravy image

This recipe will make 1½-2 gallons of gravy! Feed a crowd or stock your freezer. Be sure you have a large pan and plenty of milk. This is one recipe you need to read all the way through before starting. I freeze in 1 or 2 cup portions and also freeze prebaked biscuits, for a quick meal.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield 2 gallons, 32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb ground country sausage
1 1/2 cups shortening
2 1/2 cups flour (all purpose)
1 1/2 gallons milk
1 (10 ounce) can evaporated milk
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion salt
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 1/2 teaspoons Kitchen Bouquet

Steps:

  • You will need a very large pot to make this gravy.
  • Put sausage into pot, add 1-2 quarts of water.
  • Stir to break meat up very fine while bringing to a boil.
  • When cooked through, strain the water off of the meat.
  • Return meat to the pan and add shortening; brown the meat till it starts to look crispy.
  • Add flour and cook until flour is browned, stir often so you don't let it burn (use low heat).
  • Add seasonings.
  • Using large whisk stir the first gallon of milk into the flour and turn up heat,while remaining to stir constantly.
  • Once it thickens, add the kitchen bouquet and the can of evaporated milk.
  • Stir to mix and bring to a boil.
  • Next you may add the other half gallon of milk as you need it, to get your gravy to the consistency that you like. (Remember, gravy must come to a boil before you know how thick it is or isn't going to be).
  • If after all your milk has been added, its still too thick, then add a bit of water and bring it back to a boil.
  • Add liquid to thin gravy a little bit at a time.
  • It is easier to thin than to rethicken properly.
  • Once it is to the consistency you like and has come to a boil again,then it's done.
  • Taste to see if it needs more salt.
  • Adjust if need be and serve over biscuits, toast, fried potatoes or mashed potatoes.
  • To freeze cool completely then package and freeze.
  • Will keep 3-6 months in freezer.

WHITE SAUSAGE GRAVY



White Sausage Gravy image

For a Southern-style breakfast, make Food Network Kitchen's White Sausage Gravy recipe to go along with a fresh batch of homemade baking powder biscuits.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 13

One 12-ounce tube bulk pork sausage
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Baking Powder Biscuits, recipe follows
2 cups all-purpose flour (about 8 ounces), plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon fine salt
7 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, sliced
3/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, break it up with a wooden spoon, and cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned and cooked through, about 7 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to a bowl, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet. Whisk the flour into the fat and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. While whisking, pour the milk into the skillet and bring the gravy to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer gently for 2 minutes. Stir in the sausage and season with pepper. Split the biscuits in half and divide them among plates. Top each biscuit with some of the gravy and serve immediately.
  • To make the biscuits: Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with two layers of parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Rub 2 tablespoons of the butter into the flour with your fingertips until completely absorbed. Work the remaining butter into the flour until it is in even pieces about the size of a pea. Gently stir the milk into the flour mixture to make a loose dough.
  • Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour and turn the dough out onto it. Pat the dough into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Fold the dough in thirds like a business letter. (For a flakier biscuit repeat the folding a second time.) Pat the dough into a 5 by 8-inch rectangle about 3/4-inch thick. Use a 2- to 3-inch round cutter to make 6 biscuits, and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Press together the scraps of dough and cut 2 more biscuits.
  • To make the glaze: Mix the cream and melted butter together in a small bowl. Lightly brush the tops of the biscuits with the glaze. Bake until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Cool on a rack for 5 minutes before serving.

SAUSAGE GRAVY FOR A CROWD



sausage gravy for a crowd image

My grandma and dad made this in the family restaurant..way before we knew how bad it was for us. It is really great for a treat, though..especially over biscuits. The amounts are approximate..I never have measured..

Provided by ssinderella

Categories     Breakfast

Time 40m

Yield 6-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb pork sausage
2 links Italian sausage
3 slices bacon
4 tablespoons butter or 4 tablespoons margarine
1/4-1/2 cup flour
5 cups milk, approximately
ham soup base or chicken base (in the soup aisle)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • brown and crumble the italian and pork sausage in a big pot.
  • Cook and crumble the bacon and add to the pot with some of the drippings.
  • Add the butter or margarine if there is not a lot of grease.

  • Add the milk and cook for about 10-15 minutes until thick.
  • Thin with milk as needed.
  • Season with some of the ham base, salt, and pepper as you desire.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality sausage: The quality of your sausage will greatly impact the flavor of your gravy. Look for a sausage that is made with fresh, high-quality meat and spices.
  • Brown the sausage thoroughly: Browning the sausage will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming greasy.
  • Use a good quality flour: The type of flour you use will also affect the texture of your gravy. All-purpose flour is a good option, but you can also use a bread flour or a self-rising flour.
  • Cook the gravy slowly: Gravy is a dish that takes time to develop its flavor. Don't rush the process or you'll end up with a thin, watery gravy.
  • Season the gravy to taste: Gravy should be seasoned to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a bit of sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
