Serving Size: 4 adults or 2 hungry Missionaries!
Ingredients:
- ½ cup white unbleached flour
- 3 cups milk
- ½ tube pork sausage (6 oz.)
- 1 or 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 refrigerated tin of biscuits (large or small)
Directions:
- Crumble sausage and heat in frying pan until just browned (don't over-fry it).
- Have biscuits baking in oven as per package instructions.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour and milk together.
- Stir with a whisk until lumps are mostly gone.
- Turn heat to medium (drain grease if desired, or leave it in for extra flavor!).
- Add flour/milk mixture and slowly stir into pan with sausage.
- Stir occasionally until mixture comes to a low boil.
- Mixture will begin to thicken at this point; stir regularly.
- Continue stirring over low heat until gravy reaches desired consistency.
- Remove from heat. Split open biscuits and pour gravy over the top. Enjoy!
NOTE: Because sausage inherently contains lots of salt, you may choose to add none to the gravy; however, I still recommend at least 1 teaspoon for good flavor.
If you have little children, the small prepackaged biscuits work best. But you may need two cans of 'em to fill everyone up. Otherwise, I recommend one can of the large Western Family or Pillsbury home-style or buttermilk biscuits. They taste better, and hold the heat better when serving them.
Of course, you can always make your own biscuits from scratch, if you have more time in the morning than I. ;-)
I'm lazy and just use quick country gravy packets. :P I should try making it from scratch though now that you've posted this.
