Biscuits and Gravy
I never ate biscuits and gravy until about 8 years ago. It never interested me and I really am not much for gravy. James loved biscuits and gravy. He would get it anytime we went out for breakfast. I decided that it should be another thing that I learn how to make for him. It is not very healthy so I do not make it often. I make it maybe 3 times a year. I only make it on holidays.
I always assumed it would be hard to make but it is not. I do not even use a recipe when I make it. I am sure you can find thousands of recipes online but I do not see the point.
Ingredients
1 tube of original breakfast sausage
1 tube of hot or spicy breakfast sausage
flour
milk
salt & pepper
Directions
Fully brown both tubes of sausage. Mix in flour a tablespoon at a time until all of the grease is soaked up and it makes a thick paste. Keep cooking and stirring to cook out the flour taste. Add milk until it gets to the amount of gravy to sausage that you like. It takes a lot more milk than you would think. Make sure that you have a full gallon of milk before you start just in case.
Bring to a boil and then lower to a simmer as it thickens. Salt and pepper to taste.
I had planned on skipping dinner tonight since I ate so much yesterday. This picture just changed my mind. I love biscuits and gravy. That will be my dinner tonight.
