Sawmill Gravy Paula Deen Recipes

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.

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.

SOUTHERN-STYLE SAWMILL SAUSAGE GRAVY

Steps:

• Add sausage to a large skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir with a spatula, breaking apart the sausage until cooked and starting to crisp, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add butter, onion powder, and garlic powder; stir until butter is melted.
• Sprinkle flour over sausage and butter and stir until combined. Reduce heat slightly and cook until thick, 1 to 2 minutes.
