Sawmill Gravy Food

SAWMILL GRAVY

Steps:

• Cook sausage in a cast iron skillet.
• When done, remove sausage from pan and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat.
• Whisk flour into the fat and cook over low heat for 5 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat and whisk in milk a little at a time.
• Return to medium-high heat and stir occasionally while the gravy comes to a simmer and thickens.
• (Be sure to scrape up any brown bits that might be stuck to the bottom of the pan, that's where the flavor is.) Check seasoning, add crumbled sausage and serve over toast or biscuits.

SAWMILL GRAVY (PAULA DEEN)

Steps:

• On medium heat, heat up skillet for 1 to 2 minutes. Combine sausage, bacon, onion and garlic.
• Put this mixture in pan hot pan. Break up sausage while cooking. Cook until sausage and bacon are browned.
• Stir in flour, pepper, salt and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. This will make a roux with the sausage and bacon fat.
• Slowly stir in the half and half. Keep stirring and cook over medium heat until it thickens.
• Stir in butter and serve.
• P.S. 1. If the gravy is too thick, you can add more half/half to thin it out. 2. If there are any leftovers and you want to re-heat this. I stir in a little more half /half and pop it in the microwave. 3. In the original recipe it calls for 1 tsp of salt, but for me there is a lot of salt in the meat already. It is easier to add salt to your plate, then have one person not be able to eat this because it is too salty for them. 4. We have also tried this with half hot sausage and half regular for a little more spice. Or you can just add red pepper flakes while cooking the meat.

SAWMILL GRAVY

Steps:

• Brown sausage in cast iron skillet and drain. Set aside.
• In large cast iron skillet, melt butter. Add flour and whisk to make roux. Add half and half and evaporated milk, a little at a time, whisking constantly until the mixture is thinned out to about the consistency of tomato soup. If your skillet isn't big enough, you can transfer it to a Dutch oven or larger, deep pot at this point.
• Add sausage and seasonings, and continue cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until mixture is hot and bubbly. You can add additional milk if it's too thick.
• If it's too thin, take some of the hot mixture in a separate cup, mix in some additional flour, and combine to make paste. Add paste back into hot gravy. If you just put flour into the hot mixture, it will lump up.
