SAUSAGE GRAVY



Sausage Gravy image

There are certain recipes that are hallmarks of the South's comfort food. From fried chicken to grits, some recipes are non-negotiable Southern staples. And if you ask us, sausage gravy belongs in that tasty canon. If you haven't had homemade sausage gravy since the last time your grandmother made it, you might be surprised to know that it's not as difficult to make as you might think. All it takes is three ingredients plus salt and pepper along with some whisking to whip up this down-home favorite. The trick to a great country gravy is to brown the sausage in a skillet until it has a deep caramelization on the outside. Not only will the sausage taste better, the drippings will have also have a richer, tastier flavor to impart in the roux. Since this recipe uses such few ingredients, it's important to find the best quality of each ingredient that you can. We promise you'll taste the difference if you use a high-quality whole milk from the grocery store or the farmers market. What's the best way to serve it? There's the classic settings like biscuits, chicken fried steak, or grits, but we also like to serve it with shrimp, rice, and a drizzle of Tabasco hot sauce.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality sausage: The type of sausage you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your gravy. Look for a sausage that is well-seasoned and has a good amount of fat.
  • Brown the sausage thoroughly: This will help to develop the flavor of the sausage and prevent it from becoming greasy.
  • Use a flavorful roux: The roux is the base of the gravy, so it's important to make sure it's flavorful. Use a combination of butter and flour, and cook it until it's a rich golden brown.
  • Add milk or cream gradually: When you're adding milk or cream to the roux, do it gradually and whisk constantly. This will help to prevent the gravy from curdling.
  • Season to taste: Once the gravy is simmering, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or other spices.
  • Serve immediately: Sausage gravy is best served immediately, while it's still hot. You can serve it over biscuits, grits, or toast.

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