Description

Hearty pioneer woman sausage gravy delivers pure Southern comfort on a plate, blending rich breakfast flavors with rustic charm. Creamy, peppery sauce crowns warm biscuits, inviting you to savor a classic morning meal that speaks straight to the soul.


Ingredients

Scale

Meat:

  • 1 pound (1 lb) breakfast sausage

Thickening Agent:

  • 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) all-purpose flour

Dairy:

  • 2 cups (480 milliliters) milk

Seasonings:

  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Bread:

  • Pillsbury Grands Frozen Biscuits

Instructions

  1. Sizzle ground sausage in a spacious skillet over medium heat, allowing the meat to develop rich, golden-brown coloration while releasing its natural oils.
  2. Sprinkle flour across the cooked sausage, thoroughly incorporating and stirring until the white powder completely disappears into the meat’s rendered fat.
  3. Gradually pour milk into the skillet, whisking continuously to prevent lumps and ensure smooth consistency.
  4. Enhance the flavor profile with generous pinches of salt and freshly cracked black pepper, adjusting seasoning to personal preference.
  5. Maintain medium heat, stirring frequently and allowing the mixture to reach a gentle, rolling bubble.
  6. Reduce temperature to low, continuing to stir as the gravy gradually transforms into a thick, creamy texture that coats the back of a spoon.
  7. Once the gravy reaches desired consistency, immediately transfer to a serving dish and ladle generously over warm, freshly baked biscuits.

Notes

  • Drain some sausage grease if you prefer a lighter gravy, but keeping most helps develop rich, deep flavor.
  • Toast flour carefully to prevent raw flour taste and ensure smooth, velvety texture without lumps.
  • Whisk milk gradually and consistently to create perfect consistency without clumping or separation.
  • Customize by using alternative milks like oat or almond for dairy-free version, or swap pork sausage with turkey sausage for lower-fat option.
