Sausage Gravy

[TheOysterMan]

Ok, so I am planning on cooking a big southern breakfast Saturday morning and I decided to tweak my gravy recipe a little by using Conecuh Sausage. It turned out so amazing I figured I'd share the recipe with ya'll

2 lbs of Conecuh Sausage (halved and then thinly sliced)
4-5 tablespoons flour
3 cups milk
pepper


Sautee sausage in heavy saucepan. When brown, take out with slotted spoon and set to side. Add flour 1 tablespoon at a time to make roux. Make sure to allow enough time between tablespoons for mixture to brown and thicken slightly. If you dont, it will taste like flour. When roux is formed, add milk 1/2 cup at a time. Let mixture heat through before adding more milk, so you can gauge the thickness you want your gravy to be. Add liberal amounts of pepper to taste. Put sausage back in and heat through. Serve on biscuits!

I think i need to take out stock in conecuh sausage lol.

We had sausage gravy and biscuits this morning made with a roll of Jimmy Dean hot sausage and boy was it good. I have never tried it using link sausage but on occasion we sometimes put some green onion, both white and green tops in the gravy it only takes one or two onions. I use an obscene amount of black pepper on my biscuits and gravy using hot sausage lets me cut back on the black pepper.

Not to roll sausage I don't there is grease to drain.

Nope, there was plenty of greasein the pan....really only need equal parts grease to flour, so 4-5 tablespoons of grease is plenty

I dont think Ive ever cooked with Conecuh before, so i wasnt sure how much grease it makes.. And for some reason Jimmy Dean sausage never seems to give off enough grease.. I usually go for the off brand sausage for making gravy.
