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.

COUNTRY SAUSAGE GRAVY

This is a family favorite that my dad taught me long ago. It's very filling and if company arrives unexpectedly for breakfast, just add more flour and milk. This recipe works best with a cast iron skillet as it holds heat so well. And besides, it makes the meal more authentic! Serve over buttermilk biscuits.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound pork sausage
1 onion, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
salt and pepper to taste
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon minced fresh sage
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
2 cups milk, divided
2 cubes chicken bouillon
¼ cup minced fresh parsley

Steps:

  • In a skillet on medium heat cook pork, onion, green pepper, red pepper flakes, and garlic until pork is crumbly. Drain off excess fat, but leave a small amount.
  • Combine butter, salt, and pepper with the meat mixture and stir until butter melts. Slowly sift flour over the top. Mix gently and allow mixture to cook for 5 minutes. It will burn, so do not let it sit unguarded. Don't forget to scrape the bottom of the pan. Add the sage and thyme.
  • Slowly stir in milk, about a half a cup at a time, and incorporate it well. When the mixture thickens, add more milk. Do not let it boil vigorously, or it will burn. Add chicken bullion and let cook for five minutes. Again, if it thickens too much, add more milk. Adjust taste with more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Just before serving, add the parsley, and about a 1/4 cup more milk; the gravy will thicken quickly as it cools.

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.

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 to use a good quality one. Look for a sausage that is made with fresh, high-quality meat and spices.
  • Cook the sausage over medium heat: This will help to prevent the sausage from browning too quickly and becoming dry.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the sausage will not cook evenly and will release too much grease.
  • Use a whisk to stir the gravy: This will help to prevent the gravy from clumping.
  • Season the gravy to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice for a little bit of tang.
  • Serve the gravy hot: Country sausage gravy is best served hot over biscuits, toast, or potatoes.
