Classic Sausage Gravy Recipes

SAUSAGE GRAVY

Steps:

• Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring until it crumbles and is no longer pink. Remove sausage, and drain on paper towels, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings in skillet.
• Melt butter in skillet. Whisk flour into hot fat until smooth; cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk, and cook, whisking constantly, 5 to 7 minutes or until thickened. Stir in sausage, salt, and pepper. Serve immediately.

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!

CLASSIC HOMEMADE SOUTHERN SAUSAGE GRAVY

Steps:

• Enjoy.

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.

CLASSIC SAUSAGE GRAVY

Steps:

• In a small frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat for about 30 seconds. Add Jimmy Dean sausage and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until browned, stirring frequently to break up the sausage into small pieces, then drain.
• Add flour and mix well with the sausage. Reduce heat to medium and add 1 cup of milk, stirring to prevent any flour lumps. Add the remaining milk and the salt and pepper. Bring heat up to medium-high for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sauce bubbles up to the top of the pan (do not allow it to boil over).
• Reduce heat to medium-low, stirring the sauce frequently until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
• Serve over cooked grits or biscuits, and top with green onions.

OTORO'S ULTIMATE SAUSAGE GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat a 10" to 12" skillet over medium high heat and add sausage.
• Break up sausage with a wooden spoon. Add onion after a minute or two.
• Once the sausage is cooked, use a teaspoon to heavily dust the sausage with flour.
• Stir to incorporate the flour, you want it to coat the sausage and soak up the grease.
• Once the flour has turned a very light brown (about 2-3 minutes) add the milk and bring to a boil.
• Turn the heat down to medium and continue to stir, it should thicken up quite quickly. If the gravy seems to thick, add more milk.
• Add the hot pepper sauce (I like Frank's) and 8-10 grinds of coarse black pepper. Stir and serve immediately. Bon Appetito.
