Sawmill Gravy From Cracker Barrel Recipes

Steps:

• Cook sausage in a cast iron skillet. When done, remove sausage from pan and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat. Whisk flour into the fat and cook over low heat for 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and whisk in milk a little at a time. Return to medium-high heat and stir occasionally while the gravy comes to a simmer and thickens. (Be sure to scrape up any brown bits that might be stuck to the bottom of the pan, that's where the flavor is.) Check seasoning, add crumbled sausage and serve over toast or biscuits.

Steps:

• After frying bacon, ham or chicken, pour off fat and measure 1/4 cup drippings. Place back in pan and add flour. Stir until blended. Add 2 cups water and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until bubbling and thick. Season to taste with salt and coarse ground pepper. Add crumbled sausage and bacon bits. Stir well.

Steps:

• Brown the bacon in a large skillet, over medium-high heat, and then remove and crumble.
• Add the butter and onions to the pan, and cook until onions are just browning.
• Turn the heat to low and add the flour. Cook for about 3 minutes or until the roux smells nutty.
• Whisk in the milk, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil over low heat, stirring often.
• Add the crumbled bacon.
