Pioneer Woman Sausage Gravy

When I was a little girl, my mom always made the best sausage gravy. We’d have it on biscuits for breakfast or sometimes she’d smother some potatoes in it. Mmm, just thinking about it makes my mouth water. This is a really easy and super delicious recipe for sausage gravy poured over biscuits that will have your family begging you to make it again and again. This recipe makes a hearty breakfast that is perfect any time of the year or any day of the week. Serve with a side of eggs or even a salad to round out a filling lunch.

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, more to taste
• 12 cooked biscuits, warmed, for serving

How to Make Pioneer Woman Sausage Gravy:

1. Tear the sausage into small pieces with your fingers and add them in a single layer to a large heavy skillet. Brown the sausage over medium-high heat until no longer pink.
2. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Sprinkle on half the flour and stir so that the sausage soaks it all up, then add more little by little. Stir it around and cook for another minute or so.
3. Pour in the milk, stirring constantly.
4. Cook the gravy, stirring frequently until it thickens (this may take a good 10 to 12 minutes). Sprinkle in the seasoned salt and pepper and continue cooking until very thick and luscious.
5. If it gets too thick too soon, just splash in another 1/2 cup of milk or more if needed. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
6. Spoon the sausage gravy over warm biscuits and serve immediately.

This recipe can be easily doubled to serve 24.
