Grandma's own! Adjust the milk to the thickness you like. Works with bacon, too. Serve hot over freshly baked biscuits!

Time 30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pound ground pork sausage
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups milk

Steps:

  • Place sausage in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Remove sausage, drain and set aside.
  • Pour off most of the fat from the pan, leaving about 2 to 3 tablespoons. Return pan to medium-low heat and add flour. Using a whisk, stir vigorously until roux forms, scraping bottom of pan. Reduce heat to low and let roux cook at least 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Grandma always "burned" hers a little on purpose.
  • Add milk in a stream, whisking the whole time. After adding about 2 1/2 cups, turn heat to medium and continue cooking, stirring constantly. Bring gravy to a boil and cook to desired thickness. Add more milk if a thinner gravy is desired. You may also add some of the cooked and crumbled sausage to the gravy.

Time 25m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound breakfast sausage, hot or mild
1/3 cup all-purpose flour

AWESOME SAUSAGE GRAVY



Awesome Sausage Gravy image

I've been fiddling around trying to make a perfect sausage gravy for years and I think I finally hit on it with this one. My spices and seasonings are never actually "measured," so play around with them until it suits you! Just a disclaimer: this gravy is NOT for the health conscious! I use fat-free milk to kind of counteract the creams and sausage, but this definitely isn't a "diet-friendly" food!

Provided by ameliebella

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 lb mild sausage (you can use less, but more is more, I say)
3 tablespoons cornstarch (heaping)
2 1/2 cups nonfat milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon sour cream, room temperature
1 -2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons seasoning salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Brown and crumble sausage until its crispy. I like to burn mine just a little. Don't worry, it re-hydrates when you add the milk and creams.
  • While browning, mix 1 1/2 cup milk with the cornstarch. Add in the softened sour cream and mix thoroughly. Combine the remaining milk and heavy cream.
  • Once sausage is browned (don't drain off all of the fat, leave at least a few teaspoons), reduce heat to medium-low and pour in the milk/cornstarch/sour cream mixture. Stir constantly until it just begins to thicken. Add spices.
  • Once the mixture has begun to thicken, add the milk and cream and increase temperature to medium high, stirring constantly, until it begins to bubble. Once it has started bubbling, reduce again to medium low. It needs a lot of attention, so keep stirring until it has reached your desired consistency. Make sure you keep tasting it too! Add more salt and pepper as needed.
  • Serve over hot biscuits or grits or eggs or whatever you like your sausage gravy on!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of sausage. Different types of sausage will give your gravy different flavors. Some popular choices include breakfast sausage, Italian sausage, and spicy sausage.
  • Brown the sausage well. This will help to develop the flavor of the gravy.
  • Use a good quality flour. All-purpose flour is a good choice, but you can also use bread flour or cake flour for a different texture.
  • Cook the flour and butter mixture until it is golden brown. This will help to thicken the gravy and give it a rich flavor.
  • Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent the gravy from curdling.
  • Season the gravy to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
  • Serve the gravy hot over biscuits, toast, or eggs.

Conclusion:

Sausage gravy is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a sausage gravy that is sure to please everyone at your table.
