RECIPE: Sausage Gravy

This sausage gravy is easy, versatile, and freezes well to boot! I like to whip up a mega batch and freeze it in family-sized portions so it’s ready for busy days during the school year. Go the classic route and eat it over eggs, potatoes, or biscuits. This also makes a killer pizza sauce (top with cheese of choice, mushrooms, and red onions), and it is the perfect base for Pepper Sausage Pasta. However you choose to chow down, we know this will be a family favorite recipe at your house.

Ingredients

• 1 lb Ramstead Ranch pork sausage
• 2-3 Tbsp butter or bacon grease
• 3 Tbsp flour
• 2-3 C milk (can sub for broth if dairy free)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: herbs (sage, parsley, and rosemary recommended)

Instructions

1. Melt butter in a cast iron pan, and brown the pork sausage.
2. Add flour, and stir well, allowing it to cook for another 2-3 minutes.
3. Turn heat to low, and slowly add milk, stirring constantly.
4. Remove from heat when desired consistency is reached.
5. Add salt, pepper, and herbs to taste.
6. Tip: if the gravy is too thick, add some more liquid (milk or broth work best!) If it’s too thin, allow it to simmer on low to thicken up a bit.
7. Enjoy!
