Pioneer Woman Sausage Gravy is the ultimate comfort food, perfect for a hearty breakfast or brunch. This recipe delivers rich, creamy gravy with the perfect balance of flavors. Serve it over warm biscuits for a truly satisfying meal. Here’s how to make it:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound breakfast sausage, hot or mild
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 to 4 cups whole milk, more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 12 cooked biscuits, warmed, for serving
Preparation:
- Brown the Sausage: In a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat, add the breakfast sausage in small pieces, spreading them out in a single layer. Cook until the sausage is no longer pink, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
- Add Flour: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Sprinkle half of the flour over the sausage, stirring continuously until the sausage absorbs the flour. Gradually add the remaining flour, stirring well to combine.
- Pour in Milk: Slowly pour in the whole milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Thicken the Gravy: Cook the gravy over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens. This may take about 10 to 12 minutes. If the gravy becomes too thick, you can add more milk, 1/2 cup at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Season: Sprinkle seasoned salt and freshly ground black pepper into the gravy, adjusting the seasoning to taste. Continue cooking until the gravy is thick and luscious.
- Serve: Spoon the sausage gravy over warm biscuits and serve immediately.
