Here’s a delicious recipe for Pioneer Woman-style Sausage Gravy, inspired by the popular cooking style of Ree Drummond:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (mild or hot, based on your preference)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups whole milk (or a combination of milk and cream for extra richness)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Biscuits, for serving
Instructions:
- In a large skillet or saucepan, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat. Use a wooden spoon to break up the sausage into crumbles as it cooks.
- Once the sausage is browned and cooked through, sprinkle the flour evenly over the sausage in the pan. Stir well to combine, ensuring that the flour coats the sausage evenly.
- Cook the sausage and flour mixture for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. This helps to cook out the raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in the whole milk, stirring continuously to combine with the sausage and flour mixture. This will create a creamy gravy consistency.
- Continue cooking the gravy over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
- Season the gravy with salt and black pepper to taste. Remember that the sausage adds some saltiness, so adjust accordingly.
- Once the gravy has thickened and is seasoned to your liking, remove it from heat.
- Serve the sausage gravy hot over freshly baked biscuits. Split the biscuits open and ladle the warm gravy generously over the top.
- Enjoy your delicious homemade Pioneer Woman-style Sausage Gravy and Biscuits for a hearty breakfast or brunch!
Note: You can customize this recipe by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper for a subtle heat, or a splash of Worcestershire sauce for extra depth of flavor. Feel free to adjust the thickness of the gravy by adding more milk if needed, or simmering longer to reduce to a thicker consistency.
