Sausage Gravy

Sausage gravy is a Southern breakfast dish made with crumbled sausage, flour, milk, and seasonings.



Sausage Gravy

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground sausage

  • 2 Tablespoons butter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1-quart milk

  • 1 Tablespoon chicken base

  • Salt and pepper to taste




Method

  1. In a large saucepan, break up the sausage and cook it in the butter over medium heat.

  2. Little by little, add the flour to the butter and fat from the cooked sausage, and make a roux. The amount of flour depends on the amount of fat that has been rendered.

  3. Cook and stir the roux until it no longer sticks to the pan and has a consistency similar to peanut butter.

  4. Add the milk and chicken base, and use a whisk to blend and thicken the mixture. Season with salt and pepper

  5. Turn the heat down, and simmer for about 10 minutes.


    Serve over hot biscuits.
