Comfort food for a cool spring evening.

Sausage Gravy.
It's cheap and easy...and filling. And I'm a big fan. So I thought to pass it along to you. The following measurements are approximations; the recipe is in my head. Be forewarned, but enjoy!

Begin by frying 1lb of ground pork sausage (Sage or Spicy. If plain, add 1-2 tsp Sage to taste and crushed red pepper if you like it warm!) in a large non-stick pan. When the sausage is cooked thoroughly, create a roux by stirring in enough flour (it varies, but 3-4 TBSP is a good start) to soak up the grease left in the pan.



Cook for a few more minutes, stirring constantly over medium heat. It should look like this:


Now, add enough milk to cover the sausage, pepper to taste (fresh ground is best and I believe a good milk gravy has a peppery punch to it) and bring to a boil.



Stirring constantly, boil gravy until thickened. This usually takes about 7-10 minutes.
Serve over biscuits. I make drop biscuits with Jiffy Baking Mix. Sometimes I throw a tube of Grands biscuits in the oven if they're on sale.

Yum.
