I suck at the gravy part of this...yet it's one of my favorites when I'm out for breakfast...

anyone have 'good' recipes/procedures for sausage gravy?

biscuits and sausage gravy is the best.
 
Brown bulk breakfast sausage until it gets a little crispy. You need some fat in the pan, so most of the time you have to add butter.
Add flour in about the same amount as the fat/butter. Usually for a pound of sausage I add 3 tablespoons of butter, then a little over 2 tablespoons of flour. Then you cook it over medium heat for a couple minutes while stirring.You have to cook the flour for this to work.
Then add milk until you have as much gravy as you want, along with a couple dashes of worcester sauce and a pinch of pepper, and stir constantly until it starts to boil.
Just like Grandma's. As with all gravies, it takes practice. You will get it right after a few tries, and the first couple batches will taste great even if a little runny or lumpy.
 
Mix half a stick of butter and with a couple tablespoons of flour (they call this roux). Make sure you have enough butter that it's not all clumpy. Throw some milk in and mix it quick, add some more, add some more. Then add a few cups and turn it down. Let it slowly get up to a small boil (too hot too fast and it'll scorch). You can use water+milk if your dieting, but I use straight milk. Add some pepper and chicken base and a shot or two of habenero sauce (rounds it out). If your following directions to a tee; you're doing it wrong. :D


If you use real sausage you can use the grease for your roux, and you may not need butter. I use the morning star vegetarian sausage because the flavor makes for better gravy and my wife will eat it. I add it right before the flour. I like to do ham gravy from time to time as well; I let it cook for a couple minutes to sweat some flavor.
 
"morning star" is the brand name (green box)
Right next to the other crap in the freezer section.
They handed jimmy dean his ass for a hat in the flavor category; I'm crappin you negative.

I count gravy as a food group. I use bacon fat for my roux. I've made BIG batches of gravy (30 gallon at a time). I've tried lots of different kinds, and the hippies got one right.

Although tofu tacos are pretty good too.
 
Jimmy Dean ground sausage (i like the sage variety)
Milk
Corn starch or flour

Brown the sausage. Add 1qt milk and bring to almost boiling. Mix either 3 tbs cornstarch or 1 cup flour with 1 cup milk until smooth. SLOWLY add milk/cornstarch/flour mixture to sausage/milk stir constantly to avoid lumps. Stir in fresh ground black pepper to taste.

If you don't care to make your own biscuits, the Pilsbury Butter Tastin' Grands work pretty good.
YMMV
 
jeez you guys are making this too hard...

brown your jimmy dean, do not drain, sissies.
throw some butter in there for more grease.
sprinkle two or three tbls of flour over the mix and stir/cook in well
