Pioneer Woman’s sausage gravy

Pioneer Woman’s sausage gravy recipe is a classic comfort dish, perfect for a hearty breakfast or brunch. It’s rich, creamy, and full of savory sausage flavor. Here’s a version of her sausage gravy recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound breakfast sausage (Pork sausage is typically used)
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 cups whole milk (you can adjust for desired thickness)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional: Red pepper flakes for some heat
• Biscuits (store-bought or homemade) for serving

Instructions:

1. Cook the sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.

2. Make the gravy: Once the sausage is cooked, leave some of the rendered fat in the pan. Add the flour and stir well to combine with the fat and sausage, forming a roux. Cook this for about 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

3. Add the milk: Slowly add the milk to the skillet, stirring constantly to ensure there are no lumps. Continue to cook and stir until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

4. Season: Season the gravy with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

5. Serve: Spoon the sausage gravy over freshly baked biscuits and enjoy!

This recipe makes a creamy, flavorful gravy that’s perfect for pairing with fluffy biscuits.
