Biscuits & Gravy

Biscuits and Gravy

serves 4

This is a family favorite for supper.  If mornings are rushed,  make the gravy the night before and heat it in the microwave in the morning.

Ingredients

1 lb. bulk sausage (like Jimmy Dean, Bob Evans, Purnell’s, etc)

2 Tbsp. minced onion

2 Tbsp. butter

½ c. all-purpose flour

1 qt. milk

¼ tsp. nutmeg

¼ tsp. poultry seasoning

dash of Worcestershire sauce

dash of Tabasco sauce

1 tube of large buttermilk biscuits (8 count), baked, or a dozen homemade biscuits

Directions

Crumble sausage into a large sauce pan or a dutch oven and sauté over medium-low heat, breaking the meat into small pieces as it cooks.  Do not let the sausage get crisp or too brown.  When meat is about ¾ cooked, add the onion and cook until onion is transparent.  Add butter, stirring until completely melted.  Stir in the flour with a wire whisk, and cook over medium-low heat for 6 to 7 minutes, or until the flour turns golden. 

Pour in the milk all at once, and add the seasonings.  Cook and whisk until the mixture thickens.  Place 2 to 3 biscuit halves on each plate and top with gravy.

Serve with a fruit salad.
