Good old Southern Sausage Gravy is a favorite breakfast of my husband. It really is also a good supper meal on a cold winter night. It is most assuredly a meal that you eat in moderation!
It is actually very simple to make – here is my tried and true recipe.
Note – this recipe doubles well!
INGREDIENTS – (Serves 4-6)
1 lb. Jimmy Dean pork sausage (mild, hot, sage-flavored or a mixture)
[We like to mix the hot and sage flavors together.]
Salt and pepper to taste
1/3 cup of White Lily all purpose flour
4 cups of whole milk
1/3 stick of salted butter
- Crumble the sausage and brown over medium heat until no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper at this time. You will be amazed at how lean this Jimmy Dean sausage is – no grease to drain!
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and then sprinkle on the 1/3 cup of flour and mix well so that the sausage soaks up the flour. Keep stirring the sausage and flour together for another couple of minutes until the “raw flour” has cooked through.
- Now slowly pour in the 4 cups of the milk, stirring constantly.
- Continue to cook the gravy, stirring frequently, until it thickens. (This may take a good 5-7 minutes.)
- Now go ahead and add the butter and stir well. You are done!
- Spoon the sausage gravy over warm buttermilk biscuits and serve immediately. It is sooooooooooooooo good!
Happy Sausage Gravy Making!
