I love Sausage gravy and biscuits! DH was not a big fan until I made this. True Southern Comfort food! Serve this wonderful Southern-style gravy over hot split and buttered buttermilk biscuits. Biscuits with gravy make a great breakfast with fresh or spiced fruit, Fresh sliced Tomatoes or serve along with a complete breakfast. This recipe is courtesy of Paula Deen.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

8 ounces breakfast sausage
2 tablespoons shortening or lard
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2-1 3/4 cups milk
salt and pepper, to taste
1 dash cayenne pepper, option

Directions

1
Cook sausage in a medium skillet over medium-low heat, stirring and breaking up with a spatula. With a slotted spoon, removed the browned crumbled sausage to a paper towel.
2
Add flour, stirring until blended and bubbling. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups milk; continue stirring and cooking until thickened and bubbly. Add the crumbled sausage. If too thick, add a little more milk. Taste and add salt and pepper. Stir in a dash of cayenne pepper, if desired.
3
Serve over hot split and buttered biscuits. Serve sliced tomatoes or fresh fruit with these, or serve as part of a bigger breakfast.

Great comfort food! We all loved this and I know I'll be making it again. The amount was perfect for 6 biscuits. Thanks for posting!

A true southern delight! DH and I both grew up eating sausage gravy and this it. A friend told me awhile back to add just a pinch of sugar to the gravy and it worked like a charm. This was served as suggested with fresh from the garden sliced tomatoes and Honeymoon Sourdough Biscuits.
