Steps:
- Prepare biscuits according to package directions. Meanwhile, brown sausage in 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. When sausage is cooked through, reduce heat to medium and add cream cheese, stirring to melt and combine. Add milk to desired thickness (I like a thick gravy, so I usually only use about 1/2 cup). Add salt and pepper and heat until bubbly. Serve over open-faced buttered biscuits.
LEG OF LAMB WITH AMAZING GRAVY JAMIE OLIVER
Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 220C/gas 6. Using a sharp knife or a clean Stanley knife, score the lamb all over, ½cm apart and 3mm deep - this gives it the most amazing, gnarly, crispy surface and a blushing centre. 2. Make the herby butter by putting the butter, thyme and rosemary into a blender, season well, then whizz to combine. Pop it into a bowl and set aside. 3. Arrange the red onions and garlic cloves in a large roasting tray. Smear the herby butter all over the lamb, then pop the meat on top of the veg. Roast in the oven for 10 minutes for every 450g, plus 20 minutes at the end, for blushing meat. 4. Meanwhile, boil the celeriac and potatoes in a pan of salted water for 15-20 minutes, or until soft. Drain, allow to steam dry, then mash with a good glug of extra virgin olive oil (or butter if you prefer) and season well with a little grated nutmeg and some salt and pepper. 5. When the lamb is cooked, allow it to rest for at least 10 minutes. While it's doing so, make the gravy. Set aside half a red onion to make the mint sauce, then squash the rest of the onions into the tray. Stir in the flour, a glug of port and the stock, and place over a high heat to allow the gravy to reduce, stirring continuously. Then pass through a sieve and keep hot. 6. Prepare the mint sauce by popping the reserved onion half out of its skin and finely chopping it with the mint, then mix them together in a bowl with the vinegar and sugar. Take everything to the table, and dig in! Per serving 535 cals, 26.6g fat (12.9g saturated), 34.8g protein, 35.7g carbs, 8.6g sugars
AMAZING GRAVY
This recipe is another Mollie Katzen master piece. The quality of ingredients is very important here so use the absolute best you can find for the broth. I use Better Than Bouillon Chicken flavor rather than a can of broth so I don't waste anything. I love using this gravy on everything.

Tips:
- Use the right meat: Choose a meat with a good amount of fat, such as chuck roast, brisket, or short ribs. This will help to create a rich, flavorful gravy.
- Brown the meat: Browning the meat before making the gravy will help to develop its flavor and color. Be sure to brown the meat in a hot pan over medium-high heat.
- Use a good quality stock: The stock is the base of the gravy, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a stock that is low in sodium and made with real ingredients.
- Don't skimp on the vegetables: Vegetables add flavor and depth to the gravy. Be sure to use a variety of vegetables, such as onions, carrots, celery, and garlic.
- Cook the vegetables until they are soft: The vegetables should be cooked until they are soft so that they will release their flavor into the gravy.
- Use a roux or cornstarch to thicken the gravy: A roux is a mixture of flour and butter that is used to thicken sauces and gravies. Cornstarch can also be used to thicken gravy, but it will give it a slightly different texture.
- Season the gravy to taste: Be sure to season the gravy with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add a splash of red wine or Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.
- Let the gravy simmer: Allowing the gravy to simmer for a while will help to develop its flavor and thicken it.
