Sawmill Sausage Gravy

Source of Recipe

From "Nashville Eats" by Jennifer Justus


Recipe Introduction

"Holly Williams, daughter to Hank Williams Jr., granddaughter to Hank Williams Sr., and a talented singer-songwriter in her own right, makes this sausage gravy when she bakes biscuits for her family. She learned to prepare this gravy from her mother, who learned it from her grandmother, making this a family tradition too."

List of Ingredients

• 1 pound mild breakfast sausage meat
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• About 2½ cups whole milk
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper


Recipe

Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the sausage. Cook until brown, about 6 minutes, breaking it up with the back of the spoon. Remove the sausage from the pan.

Begin incorporating the flour and milk, adding about 2 tablespoons of each at a time, whisking constantly. Continue adding the flour and milk until the gravy is thickened but still thin enough to pour.

Stir the sausage back into the gravy, season with the salt and pepper, and serve warm over biscuits.

Makes about 2 cups
