I made some last night for the first time ever. It was delicious but really heavy.

1 Mild Jimmy Dean sausage log thingy
1 quart thick cream
Salt & pepper
Flour

I cooked the sausage down without draining and chopped it up, added the cream then let it simmer. Sifted flour until it was the right thickness. Added salt and pepper to taste. :drool:

:yum: I love some sausage gravy. I always use a hot sausage and add the flour to the sausage and grease to create a rue and let it cook for a few minutes before adding the milk/cream.

Thats what I do also :high5: I usually drain off most of the grease and add a pat or two of butter mmmm delish!

Side note dont ever get the hot sausage from McKays for sausage gravy. OMFG that #### tasted like pure fire. I couldnt even eat it :lol:

I always use that pork sausage in the orange wrapper, forget the name..its cheap and greasy and makes the best gravy :drool: throw it on some biscuits and thats what gets you a man. Seriously.:killingme

I also make a roux with the sausage and flour, then add the half and half or milk, i don't usually use cream..its rich enough without all that.

In the biscuits or the gravy itself?

I usually use a mixture of half & half and heavy cream. I also make mine Saturday evening and serve it Sunday morning. Like a good sgetti sauce, chili, or soup it needs a little down time to develop uber delicious flavor :drool:

I have 5 hungry men in my house who love B&G so it is a must do every sunday.

They are freaks though. They actually rip up the biscuits into little pieces, rather than just opening them up and smothering them in gravy. :crazy:

Adding your flour to the sausage and grease crumbles, stirring it around to cook a bit, then adding the milk is fast and no lumps, too. :huggy:

We open a biscuit, top it with scrambled eggs, then dump gravy over the whole mess. Mmmmm MMMMM!

Last night, I cooked up a steak. Put it on a plate, then placed the plate on the counter (rear of the counter closest to the wall). Realized that my clothes in the washer were done, so I left to go move the clothes into the dryer. Gone maybe 45 seconds, if that. Come back to realize that my steak is gone. Like vaporized, gone. Like, the plate is so clean that there is no evidence that a steak even sat on it, kind of clean. Yelled for Bubba, who was off playing with his racecars upstairs. Looked at the dog, and she literally had a smile on her face. Yep, the piggy doggy ate every last bit of my sirloin steak.

I had to eat a grilled cheese sammich, instead. It was delicious - esp with some yummy bacon jam on it - but it wasn't a steak. :frown:

Ok then I have to ask can we get a recipe PLEASE

Bacon Jam

3 lbs bacon, cut into 1" strips
4 large yellow onions, peeled sliced thin
8 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 cup pure maple syrup
1 1/2 cups water
2 heaping Tbsp instant coffee
Ground black pepper to taste, but at least a tsp


Fry up the bacon until brown and crisp and remove it to a paper towel lined plate.
Remove all but 2 Tbsp the grease and fry up the onions and garlic until soft and translucent.
Add everything else but the bacon and boil hard for 2 or 3 minutes.
Lower the heat, add the bacon, and simmer until the onions are very soft and the liquid is thick - about 2 hours.
Let it cool for a bit, then load it into your food processor. Pulse a few times until it's a jammy consistency without too many large chunks.


Voila! Bacon Jam! Keeps for about a month in the fridge.

Biscuits!

Over biscuits! :D

I usually use the sage sausage and add a bit of poultry seasoning when I add the flour. Vrai's right - dumping the flour onto the browned sausage and stirring it around means no lumps and the flour kind of sucks up all the grease. Add the milk and it thickens up and releases flavors for the yummiest breakfast on earth.

And whoever the guy is who said use a package of gravy mix needs to be hit in the head by a dozen stale biscuits. Good lord, I'm from the midwest and even I know that prepackaged stuff is crap! Next he'll be saying try to substitute a can of cream of mushroom soup!
