🍳🤍 Pioneer Woman–Style Sausage Gravy 🧂🔥
Creamy, peppery, country-style sausage gravy just like the Pioneer Woman makes—perfect for pouring over warm biscuits!
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients:
• 1 lb breakfast sausage (hot or mild)
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3–4 cups whole milk
• 1/2 tsp black pepper (more to taste)
• 1/2 tsp salt (adjust depending on sausage)
• Optional: pinch of cayenne or crushed red pepper
• Fresh biscuits, for serving
Instructions:
1. In a large skillet, brown the sausage over medium heat, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks.
2. Once fully cooked, sprinkle flour evenly over the sausage. Stir to coat and cook for 1–2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
3. Slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly. Start with 3 cups—add more if you want thinner gravy.
4. Bring to a gentle simmer and let it thicken, stirring often.
5. Season with black pepper, salt, and optional cayenne.
6. Reduce heat to low and cook until thick and creamy, about 5–7 more minutes.
7. Serve hot over freshly baked biscuits!
Pro Tip:
For ultra-rich gravy, stir in 1 tablespoon of butter right before serving—game changer! 🧈✨
