Sawmill Gravy Without Sausage Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Sprinkle flour over melted butter and whisk together to form a paste. Allow this to cook for a minute.
• Pour in milk, all at once, whisking constantly.
• Add seasonings, whisking constantly. Allow the gravy to come to a boil, still whisking. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.

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:

• Add sausage to a large skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir with a spatula, breaking apart the sausage until cooked and starting to crisp, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add butter, onion powder, and garlic powder; stir until butter is melted.
• Sprinkle flour over sausage and butter and stir until combined. Reduce heat slightly and cook until thick, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Pour in chicken stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer until stock is absorbed and mixture is thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in milk until gravy is hot and bubbly.
• Season to taste with salt and lots of freshly cracked pepper. If gravy becomes too thick, thin out with more milk.

Steps:

• In a skillet, brown and crumble sausage until fully cooked; drain. Sprinkle with flour and blend. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil; boil for 1 minute. Cook until thickened. Serve over biscuits.
