Easy Creamy Homemade Sausage Gravy Food

EASY CREAMY HOMEMADE SAUSAGE GRAVY

Steps:

• Brown Sausage until all fat is rendered. This will take about 10 minutes at medium high heat.
• Add in the butter and allow it to melt completely. It should be completely melted and foamy.
• To the butter and sausage add the 4 tbsp. of flour. Stir to cook out flour about 1 minute.
• When the flour is mixed evenly with the butter (it will look pasty, see photos) add in 1 cup of milk. Mixture will thicken quickly. This is a good time to cut your heat back a bit. I usually reduce it to low.
• As soon as it's super thick add in the 2nd cup of milk.
• Stir really well and add remaining 1/2 cup of milk (optional replace the last 1/2 cup of milk with heavy cream). Add in the 1.5 tsp. of black pepper and stir. If you're sensitive to pepper, add it to your tastes.

EASY SAUSAGE GRAVY AND BISCUITS

Steps:

• Bake biscuits according to package directions.
• Meanwhile, cook sausage in large skillet over medium heat 5-6 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring frequently. Stir in flour. Gradually add milk; cook until mixture comes to a boil and thickens, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Split biscuits in half. Place 2 halves on each of 8 plates; top with about 1/3 cup gravy.

SAUSAGE GRAVY

Steps:

• With your finger, tear small pieces of sausage and add them in a single layer to a large heavy skillet. Brown the sausage over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Sprinkle on half the flour and stir so that the sausage soaks it all up, then add more little by little. Stir it around and cook it for another minute or so, then pour in the milk, stirring constantly.
• Cook the gravy, stirring frequently, until it thickens. (This may take a good 10 to 12 minutes.) Sprinkle in the seasoned salt and pepper and continue cooking until very thick and luscious. If it gets too thick too soon, just splash in another 1/2 cup of milk or more if needed. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
• Spoon the sausage gravy over warm biscuits and serve immediately!

SOUTHERN SAUSAGE CREAM GRAVY

Steps:

• Put the sausage in a large, straight-sided saute pan over medium-heat.
• As the sausage cooks, crumble into small pieces using a fork.
• When the sausage crumbles are lightly browned and fully cooked, transfer them and their pan juices to a bowl; set aside.
• Add the shortening to the hot pan.
• When the shortening has melted, add the flour, stirring it in slowly with a whisk.
• Stir constantly and cook the mixture until the flour is slightly browned (about 3-4 minutes).
• The mixture should smell nutty, not burned.
• Add in the milk, stirring constantly with a whisk until the gravy comes to a boil.
• Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
• Add the reserved sausage and pan juices to the gravy.
• Mix well with a wooden spoon, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.
• The gravy should be a medium-thick sauce; if needed, the gravy can be thinned by adding warm milk.
• Split the biscuits in half; place the halves, split side up on individual plates.
• Cover generously with warm gravy and serve immediately.
