I’ve used many different sausage gravy recipes, and they all seem to aim for (and generally hit) that creamy, salty, slightly spicy mixture of goodness that makes this meal so fulfilling. The last one I tried, however, was more or less based on Ree Drummond’s over at The Pioneer Woman, where I find a lot of the basics behind recipes I make. I adjust the amounts of various ingredients to make it the way I want it to be, but Ree generally nails these types of meals, and sausage gravy is no exception.
Seriously, it doesn’t get much easier – sausage, milk, flour, a few seasonings, and a can of Grands. If this wasn’t so unhealthy, I’d make it all the time! When I took these photos, we had just had nine inches of snow dumped on our heads, which here in the Pacific Northwest qualifies as Snowpacolypse (or so social media tells me). Needless to say, the roads, trains, buses, and many businesses were shut down completely. I broke Chels’s Volvo out of the snow and ice, warmed it up, and made the quick one mile trek up the road to our local supermarket, and grabbed some sausage. That wasn’t overly perilous, and it was worth it. Biscuits and gravy are the right meal for a snowy, stay-in morning.
