Preparing Pioneer Woman-Style Sausage Gravy
This recipe may sound fancy, but it comes together in a few simple steps. You will start with browning the sausage, which will fill your kitchen with an irresistible aroma. Then, you’ll mix in flour, pour in the milk, and stir until you have a creamy gravy. Finally, season to perfection and serve it over freshly baked biscuits.
What You’ll Need
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (hot or mild, your choice)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3–4 cups whole milk (based on desired thickness)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper (or more, based on preference)
- 1/2 tsp salt (adjust based on sausage’s saltiness)
- Optional: pinch of cayenne or crushed red pepper for a kick
- Fresh biscuits, for serving
Remember, if you don’t have whole milk on hand, you can substitute with 2% milk, but the creaminess may be slightly less rich.
