Savory Sausage Gravy Food

SAUSAGE GRAVY

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.

SAUSAGE AND GRAVY KOLACHE

Steps:

• For the sausage and gravy filling: Put the Breakfast Sausage into a pan on the stove. Pour the oil into the pan and onto the sausage. Break into bite-sized pieces and turn on the heat. Season and distribute evenly with 1 tablespoon black pepper and 2 tablespoons salt. Mix together and cook the meat until done, about 10 minutes.
• Once the sausage is fully cooked, turn the heat to low and distribute the flour evenly onto the sausage. Make sure the oil and the flour combine to form a thick roux. Once each sausage piece is thoroughly covered with flour, turn the heat back onto high. Add the milk to the pan and stir to break up any sausage clumps. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon pepper and 2 tablespoons salt to the milk. Bring to a simmer and cook, mixing periodically so that the flour does not cook on the bottom of the pan. Once the milk starts to boil, continually stir the mixture as it thickens, ensuring it doesn't burn. Once the sausage starts to "pull" from the sides of the pan, the gravy is cooked completely. Pour into a dish and refrigerate overnight so it gets gelatinous.
• For the dough: In a sauce pan, melt the butter. When melted, whisk in the milk, then pour into a mixer bowl. Add the yeast, flour, sugar, egg yolks and salt to the bowl and mix on low until the mixture is fully incorporated. Turn the mixer up slightly and knead until the dough is smooth. Portion the dough into 3-ounce balls immediately and set aside to proof until the dough is soft and supple, about 30 minutes.
• Building the sausage and gravy kolache: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• When the dough is soft and plump, place a ball into one hand and flatten. Use a spoon to scoop the sausage and gravy filling into the center of the flattened dough in your palm. Pull the outside portion of the dough up and around the filling, pinching the dough closed at the top. Invert the ball with the seam on the bottom and place on a baking sheet. Continue with the remaining dough balls and filling.
• Bake the kolaches until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool and enjoy.
• In a large bowl, add the pork, beef, salt and pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, sage and 1 tablespoon cold water and mix thoroughly.

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!

SAUSAGE GRAVY STUFFED BISCUITS

Steps:

• For the gravy: Cook the sausage in a medium skillet over medium heat, breaking up the sausage into small pieces and stirring occasionally until lightly browned, about 2 minutes Add the butter, flour, mustard powder, rosemary, pepper, and salt and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the milk and Worcestershire sauce, bring to a boil and cook until slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
• Divide the gravy among twelve 1-ounce cavities of an ice cube tray. Freeze the gravy until solid, 2 to 3 hours. (For an alt method, line a 9-by-3-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap and make a "dam" using aluminum foil to block off half of the pan. Pour the gravy into the open space. Freeze until solid, then lift out the frozen gravy and cut into twelve 1-inch cubes).
• For the biscuits: Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat it to 425 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and pepper in a food processor. Pulse until combined. Add the butter and pulse until the butter is in pea-size pieces. Add the 1 1/4 cups buttermilk and pulse several times until the dough just comes together but is not fully incorporated. Place the dough on to a clean work surface and gather it together into a rough ball. Pat the dough into an 8-inch square and divide into 12 equal portions.
• Unmold the gravy cubes from the ice cube tray. Working with 1 portion of dough at a time, pat into about a 3-inch disk in your hand. Place 1 of the gravy cubes in the center and wrap the dough around it until fully encased. Shape the biscuit into about a 2 1/2-inch-wide puck and place it on one of the prepared baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining dough and gravy cubes.
• Brush the tops of the biscuits with the remaining 2 tablespoons buttermilk and sprinkle with some finely ground black pepper.
• Bake on the upper and lower oven racks for 16 to 20 minutes, rotating the baking sheets and swapping the positions on the racks halfway through, until the biscuits are lightly golden brown. Let cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before serving.

SAUSAGE GRAVY

Steps:

• Place sausage in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Remove sausage, drain and set aside.
• Pour off most of the fat from the pan, leaving about 2 to 3 tablespoons. Return pan to medium-low heat and add flour. Using a whisk, stir vigorously until roux forms, scraping bottom of pan. Reduce heat to low and let roux cook at least 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Grandma always "burned" hers a little on purpose.
• Add milk in a stream, whisking the whole time. After adding about 2 1/2 cups, turn heat to medium and continue cooking, stirring constantly. Bring gravy to a boil and cook to desired thickness. Add more milk if a thinner gravy is desired. You may also add some of the cooked and crumbled sausage to the gravy.
