Bobo's Classic Gravy

Source of Recipe

From "Magnolia Table" by Joanna Gaines


Recipe Introduction

"Chip's dad, Bob (the kids call him Bobo), makes the best sausage gravy I've ever tasted. And biscuits for breakfast wouldn't be the same without a serving of this rich gravy on top. The yield here is generous because we often have neighbors over for breakfast on Saturday morning and I always want to be sure I have enough to go around. You can easily cut the recipe in half if you prefer, but consider yourself warned: This gravy goes fast. In the unlikely event that you have lots of leftovers, you can keep it in the fridge for a few days and it reheats beautifully."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ Two 12-ounce packages pork sausage patties, preferably Jimmy Dean
â—¦ â…“ to ½ cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
â—¦ 4 cups milk, or as needed
â—¦ Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper


Recipe

In a large skillet, cook the sausage patties over medium heat until cooked through and nicely browned on both sides, about 15 to 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking. (Do this in batches, if necessary.) Transfer the sausage to a platter and set aside.

Whisk â…“ cup flour into the rendered grease in the skillet. Whisk in the milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Adjust the gravy's consistency, if necessary: If it is too thin, whisk in more flour 1 tablespoon at a time, or if it is too thick, add milk a couple tablespoons at a time.

Chop the reserved sausage and stir it into the gravy. Season generously with salt and pepper. Serve warm. Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently over low heat.
