Sausage Gravy and Biscuits Recipe
Biscuits with sausage gravy has to be one of my all time favorite breakfast meals. It is very easy to make and doesn't take a lot of time or effort and isa relatively inexpensive breakfast meal to make.
The Ingredients that you will need to make sausage gravy and biscuits are:
* 1 Pillsbury canister of buttermilk biscuits
* 1/2 pound of ground hot sausage ( I use Jimmy Dean Hot)
* 1/3 cup all purpose flour
* salt and pepper
* 2 cups of milk
I first start by preheating the oven for putting the pre-made buttermilk biscuits. They usually come in packages of four and you can buy them in most supermarkets around the dairy sections.
In a large skillet I start to cook the half pound of sausage. I usually set it on medium to medium high. I tear the sausage into small pieces and brown it very good.
Once the hot ground sausage has browned really well, and leaving the grease in, I pour into the skillet the all purpose flour.Stirring and mixing it well on a heat setting of a less than the medium high setting.
After stirring it some together I start adding the milk one cup at a time. Getting the consistency correct is a matter of experimenting over time with it. It tends to want to get thick on me, so I usually add a good couple of cups of milk total, and stir constantly.
When you are done it should be a little on the thin side as far as the gravies consistency. Let that bubble and cook while stirring. I then will salt and pepper it. I use black pepper and crushed red pepper.
Its about this time, If I time it well, that the biscuits in the oven are ready. I will pop them out of the oven.
I take about three or four biscuits and open them up on a plate. I then take some of the sausage gravy and ladle the gravy on top of the biscuits. I normally spice it up with a little more salt, black pepper and red pepper. I like mine very hot and spicy.
Its not the most health conscious of all breakfast meals, of that I am sure. But whoa boy is it good!
I often will have a biscuit with orange marmalade or apple butter as a dessert. It kind of tones the spicy gravy down a little.
I hope you enjoy this recipe for sausage gravy and biscuits as much as I have over the years. It truly is one of my all time favorite breakfast meals.
I usually serve it up with a large glass of cold milk! That also helps take some of the heat out of the spice!
