While I might not have grown up eating traditional biscuits, we did eat traditional sausage gravy. If you are serving up sausage gravy in country gravy, I will be the first one at the table.
In fact, you might have to stop me from eating it before it even hits the table! I love it!
Country gravy where I’m from, is a white gravy loaded down with ground black pepper. It’s super easy to make and most times is paired with sausage or dried beef, and poured over biscuits or toast.
Using local ingredients takes this dish up to a whole other level. Once you start using local sausage, there’s no turning back.
Andrea’s Sausage Gravy
- 1lb Ground Bulk Pork Breakfast Sausage (or meat of your choice)
- 3TBSP (Heaping) of Unbleached All Purpose Flour (can also use white whole wheat flour)
- 2C Unsweetened Coconut Milk
- 1tsp Ground Sage
- 1tsp Poultry Seasoning
- Olive Oil for sauteeing (about 2 tsp)
In a sautee pan add olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add in the sausage and cook until done. If the pan seems to have a bunch of oil in it, remove the sausage and drain. Leave some oil, add the sausage back in, add in the seasonings and stir. Then add in the flour. Combine and allow to cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. If it seems dry, you’ll have to add in some more oil, just a touch!
Slowly add in the coconut milk and stir. Bring to a simmer and allow to simmer for about 5 minutes. It will start to thicken up on you. Once it’s thickened and can coat a spoon, remove from heat and place in a bowl. Serve and enjoy!
Perfect for Sunday morning breakfast! Along with some biscuits and you’ll have a bunch of very happy folks at the table.
I used coconut milk because that’s what I have on hand. If you have milk (everything will work except fat free or skim), feel free to use that! I recommend Snowville.
Do yourself a favor, if you’re going to eat sausage and make gravy, get the good stuff. Here’s a list for Columbus Locals:
Those are just a few! Columbus is loaded with places to purchase local ohio meats. I encourage you to start checking them out.
Not to mention all the farmer’s markets that have local meats as well.
Have fun guys, and remember, always play with your food! Enjoy!
good to know that it works well with coconut milk!
Brandi, You know, I haven’t found anything yet (cooking and baking) that coconut milk didn’t work in. Such a versatile thing!
This is why I love your blog Andrea. I had no idea there was a meat shop that sells local meat that is located so close to me in Hilliard! I will definitely check them out. Thank you for all the little tips you continually give on your blog!
Heidi, It’s pretty new but it’s not bad. I hope to get a page up with all the local resources that I know broken down into categories.
I love sausage gravy too. It’s one of the biggest things I did now that I’m gluten-free. I need to experiment and see if I can make it work with brown rice or gluten-free all-purpose flour. Now I’m craving it!
Amanda, I’m pretty sure Bob’s makes a GF flour. They are pretty good with providing GF products.
YUM!!!
Amanda – Try AP gluten-free flour or cornstarch.
I love gravy. And biscuits. Especially together. You’re a tease with the biscuits and gravy recipes this week…
Alyse, Ha! This was my evil plan to post them together this week.
I’ve never had sausage gravy and biscuits, and yet it sounds like such a delicious thing. Or even over mashed potatoes. Mmmm…
