Provided by Little Bee

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces breakfast sausage
2 tablespoons shortening or 2 tablespoons lard
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2-1 3/4 cups milk
salt and pepper, to taste
1 dash cayenne pepper, option

Steps:

  • Cook sausage in a medium skillet over medium-low heat, stirring and breaking up with a spatula. With a slotted spoon, removed the browned crumbled sausage to a paper towel.
  • Add flour, stirring until blended and bubbling. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups milk; continue stirring and cooking until thickened and bubbly. Add the crumbled sausage. If too thick, add a little more milk. Taste and add salt and pepper. Stir in a dash of cayenne pepper, if desired.
  • Serve over hot split and buttered biscuits. Serve sliced tomatoes or fresh fruit with these, or serve as part of a bigger breakfast.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality sausage for the gravy. A spicy sausage will give the gravy a nice kick, while a mild sausage will make a more family-friendly dish.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices in the gravy. A little bit of cayenne pepper or garlic powder can really add some flavor.
  • Be patient when making the gravy. It takes time for the flour to cook and for the flavors to develop.
  • Serve the gravy over biscuits, toast, or hash browns. You can also use it as a topping for chicken fried steak or pork chops.
  • Make sure the biscuits are fresh and fluffy. You can use store-bought biscuits or make your own from scratch.
  • If you're short on time, you can use a pre-made gravy mix. But be sure to add some fresh herbs and spices to give it a homemade flavor.

Conclusion:

Sausage gravy and biscuits is a classic Southern comfort food dish that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
