Pioneer Woman Sausage Gravy
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4-6
Ingredients:
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups whole milk
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Biscuits, for serving
Instructions:
- Cook the Sausage:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through. Use a spoon or spatula to break it into small pieces as it cooks.
- Make the Roux:
- Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage. Stir well to combine, ensuring the sausage is coated evenly with the flour. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flour to cook slightly.
- Add Milk:
- Gradually pour in the whole milk while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens, and it comes to a gentle simmer.
- Season:
- Season the gravy with salt and black pepper to taste. Remember that the sausage is already seasoned, so adjust accordingly.
- Simmer:
- Reduce the heat to low and let the gravy simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps the flavors meld, and the gravy will continue to thicken.
- Serve:
- Once the gravy has reached your desired consistency, remove it from the heat. Serve the sausage gravy over warm biscuits.
