Pioneer Woman Sausage Gravy & Biscuits

This hearty and satisfying dish is perfect for weekend brunches or feeding a crowd, easy to prepare with simple staples, and customizable to suit your taste preferences.

Ingredients

Scale

Sausage Gravy

  • 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 cups whole milk
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Biscuits

  • 68 buttermilk biscuits (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Sausage: Place ground breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned and fully cooked through, stirring occasionally to prevent clumps.
  2. Create the Roux: Once the sausage is cooked, sprinkle the all-purpose flour evenly over the meat. Stir continuously for about 2 minutes, allowing the flour to absorb the fat and cook out the raw taste, forming a flavorful roux.
  3. Add the Milk Slowly: Gradually pour in whole milk while constantly whisking. This prevents lumps and helps the gravy thicken smoothly. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency—usually about 5 minutes.
  4. Season the Gravy: Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust cautiously as the sausage already brings some saltiness.
  5. Prepare the Biscuits: While the gravy simmers, warm your buttermilk biscuits according to package instructions or bake from scratch if making your own. Biscuits should be fluffy and warm for the best result.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Split the biscuits in half and generously spoon the sausage gravy over the top. Serve immediately for the perfect combination of fluffy bread and creamy gravy.

Notes

  • Use freshly ground breakfast sausage for best flavor and texture.
  • Don’t rush cooking the roux to remove raw flour taste and ensure smooth gravy.
  • Keep heat at medium to prevent burning or clumping.
  • Whisk constantly to avoid lumps in the gravy.
  • Adjust milk amount for preferred gravy thickness.
