Sausage Tomato Gravy Recipes

OLD-FASHIONED TOMATO GRAVY

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard drippings, reserving 2 tablespoons in pan. Add onion to drippings; cook and stir over medium-high heat until tender, 3-5 minutes. Stir in flour, salt and pepper until blended; cook and stir over low heat until mixture is golden brown (do not burn). Gradually whisk in tomato juice. Stir in tomatoes. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until thickened, 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in bacon. Serve over biscuits.

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.

SAUSAGE TOMATO GRAVY

Steps:

• Cook sausage patties in a black cast iron skillet till done, obviously. Then remove the sausage and put it on some paper towels to blot up some of the grease.
• Drain grease from pan leaving only enough to coat the bottom (about 2 tablespoons), add a handful of flour (3 tablespoons will do) to the grease and cook it, stirring ALL the time, till it turns brown.
• Add the milk to the browned flour and stir till all the lumps are gone and it's thick. Add the drained Ro-Tel tomatoes and stir till it's the consistency that you like. (add more milk if it's too thick).
• Crumble up the sausage and add back to the gravy then spoon it over hot biscuits.
• Then turn around and slap the person next to you on account of it's so good you just have to slap somebody!

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.
