Pioneer Woman Sausage Gravy Recipe
If you love comfort food, this Pioneer Woman Sausage Gravy Recipe is perfect for you. It is rich, creamy and full of flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2½ cups whole milk
- ½ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper optional
- Biscuits for serving
Instructions
Cook the Sausage
- Place sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until browned and fully cooked. Break into small pieces while cooking evenly.
Keep the Fat
- Do not remove the fat from the pan. This fat adds rich flavor. It helps create the base for creamy gravy.
Add the Flour
- Sprinkle flour over cooked sausage. Stir well for 2 minutes. This removes raw flour taste and thickens the gravy nicely.
Pour the Milk
- Slowly add milk into the pan. Stir continuously using a whisk. This prevents lumps and creates smooth creamy texture.
Cook Until Thick
- Let the mixture cook on medium heat. Stir often until gravy becomes thick and creamy. This usually takes 5 to 7 minutes.
Add Seasoning
- Add salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper. Mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning based on your preference.
Serve Hot
- Serve sausage gravy immediately over warm biscuits. Enjoy the rich flavor while hot for the best experience.
Notes
- Use spicy sausage for extra heat
- Add garlic powder for more flavor
- Use low-fat milk if you prefer lighter gravy
- Stir constantly to avoid lumps
- Do not overcook or gravy may become too thick
- Add butter for extra richness
- Use homemade biscuits for best results
