On a late Saturday afternoon, after Marlboro Man had returned home with the soccer-playing girls, and I had come back with the soccer-playing boys, and after our three bottle calves had been fed their bottles and I had tackled the last dirty dish in the towering stack that awaited me in the sink from the morning rush, I made a spontaneous decision to whip up some biscuits and sausage gravy.

Here’s The Pioneer Woman’s Sausage Gravy Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 cups whole milk
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Biscuits, for serving

Instructions:

1. Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula as it cooks. Cook until the sausage is browned and cooked through.
2. Make the Roux: Sprinkle flour over the cooked sausage and stir well to combine. Continue cooking for about 1-2 minutes, allowing the flour to cook and absorb some of the sausage fat.
3. Add Milk: Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens, usually 5-10 minutes. If the gravy is too thick, you can add more milk to reach your desired consistency.
4. Season: Season the sausage gravy with salt and black pepper to taste. Remember that the sausage is seasoned, so adjust the seasoning accordingly.
5. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the sausage gravy simmer for a few more minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
6. Serve: Serve the sausage gravy over warm biscuits. You can split the biscuits in half and ladle the gravy over the top.
