Best Creamy Sausage Gravy Cassies Recipes

SAUSAGE GRAVY

Steps:

• In a large frying pan or skillet, cook breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking apart into crumbles as it cooks.
• When cooked, approximately 10 minutes, remove meat using a slotted spoon. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Reserve rendered pork fat.
• Reduce heat to low and stir in flour. Continue to stir until it makes a paste and turns a light brown.
• Add 1/4 cup milk, whisking or stirring well using the back of a spoon to break apart the flour clumps. Whisk until smooth. Add remaining milk in 3 stages, whisking after each to prevent lumps.
• Add reserved sausage back to the pan, tossing to combine. Taste the gravy to determine how much seasoned salt is necessary and then add slowly, tasting along to way to determine the correct amount. Follow the same guidelines with black pepper.
• Spoon over dish of your choice. Or eat with a spoon. I won't judge.

SAUSAGE GRAVY RECIPE

Steps:

• Set a large skillet (I love cast iron) over medium heat. Add in the sausage and with a wooden spatula break up sausage into smaller pieces while stirring. Cook until brown and fully done (about 8 to 10 minutes).
• Place butter in skillet and stir until melted.
• Sprinkle flour, garlic, and pepper on top of the sausage and slowly stir until well coated and grease is full absorbed. Continue stirring and let the flour cook fully for about 2 minutes.
• While stirring, slowly pour in 3 cups of the milk. Continue to stir and simmer until gravy thickens (3 to 5 minutes). Add salt, if needed. If gravy is too thick, add the last 1/2 cup of milk.
• Serve over warm fresh biscuits.

SAUSAGE GRAVY

Steps:

• With your finger, tear small pieces of sausage and add them in a single layer to a large heavy skillet. Brown the sausage over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Sprinkle on half the flour and stir so that the sausage soaks it all up, then add more little by little. Stir it around and cook it for another minute or so, then pour in the milk, stirring constantly.
• Cook the gravy, stirring frequently, until it thickens. (This may take a good 10 to 12 minutes.) Sprinkle in the seasoned salt and pepper and continue cooking until very thick and luscious. If it gets too thick too soon, just splash in another 1/2 cup of milk or more if needed. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
• Spoon the sausage gravy over warm biscuits and serve immediately!

CREAMY SAUSAGE GRAVY

Steps:

• Brown sausage in a large skillet over medium high heat, crumbling as it browns.
• Leave the grease in the skillet and reduce the heat to medium low. (If you don't have much grease from your sausage, add 2 Tbsp unsalted butter to the skillet). Add in the flour, stirring to combine. Cook for 1 - 2 minutes.
• Pour in the milk, one cup at a time, stirring after each addition. Cook, stirring frequently, until gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
• Add seasoned salt, ground thyme and black pepper and stir to combine.

SAUSAGE GRAVY

Steps:

• Crumble sausage into a large saucepan; cook over medium-low heat. Add onion; cook and stir until transparent. Drain, discarding all but 2 tablespoons of drippings. Stir in flour; cook over medium-low heat about 6 minutes or until mixture bubbles and turns golden. Stir in milk. Add seasonings; cook, stirring, until thickened. To serve, slice biscuits and spoon gravy over halves.

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.

SOUTHERN SAUSAGE CREAM GRAVY

Steps:

• Put the sausage in a large, straight-sided saute pan over medium-heat.
• As the sausage cooks, crumble into small pieces using a fork.
• When the sausage crumbles are lightly browned and fully cooked, transfer them and their pan juices to a bowl; set aside.
• Add the shortening to the hot pan.
• When the shortening has melted, add the flour, stirring it in slowly with a whisk.
• Stir constantly and cook the mixture until the flour is slightly browned (about 3-4 minutes).
• The mixture should smell nutty, not burned.
• Add in the milk, stirring constantly with a whisk until the gravy comes to a boil.
• Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
• Add the reserved sausage and pan juices to the gravy.
• Mix well with a wooden spoon, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.
• The gravy should be a medium-thick sauce; if needed, the gravy can be thinned by adding warm milk.
• Split the biscuits in half; place the halves, split side up on individual plates.
• Cover generously with warm gravy and serve immediately.
