Recipe

Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 20 mins Ready Time: 30 mins


• 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.
