Description
Sausage gravy is a classic Southern comfort dish that pairs perfectly with biscuits for a hearty breakfast. This Pioneer Woman-inspired sausage gravy recipe is rich, creamy, and full of flavor. With simple ingredients and easy steps, you can make a homemade version that rivals any restaurant-style gravy.
Ingredients
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 cups milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Frozen Pillsbury Grands biscuits
Instructions
Brown the sausage in a large pan over medium heat, ensuring you do not drain the grease. Once fully cooked, mix in 1/4 cup of flour and stir well until the flour is fully incorporated, and no white remains. Gradually add 2 cups of milk while stirring constantly. Add salt and pepper to taste, then continue cooking over medium heat until bubbles begin to appear. Reduce the heat to low, allowing the gravy to thicken before removing it from the heat.
For the best results, serve the sausage gravy over hot, freshly baked frozen Pillsbury Grands biscuits. Avoid using canned biscuits for an authentic, flaky texture that complements the rich gravy.
Notes
Serving Tips
For the best flavor, serve the sausage gravy hot over freshly baked frozen Pillsbury Grands biscuits. Split the biscuits in half and generously ladle the gravy on top. Pair with scrambled eggs, hash browns, or fresh fruit for a complete breakfast. For added richness, sprinkle a little shredded cheese or crumbled cooked bacon on top.
Storage Tips
Allow any leftover sausage gravy to cool completely before storing. Transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm the gravy over low heat on the stovetop, stirring occasionally and adding a splash of milk to restore its creamy consistency. You can also reheat it in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Freezing is not recommended, as the texture may change when thawed.
