Sausage In Potato Gravy Recipes

Steps:

• Place sausage in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Remove sausage, drain and set aside.
• Pour off most of the fat from the pan, leaving about 2 to 3 tablespoons. Return pan to medium-low heat and add flour. Using a whisk, stir vigorously until roux forms, scraping bottom of pan. Reduce heat to low and let roux cook at least 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Grandma always "burned" hers a little on purpose.
• Add milk in a stream, whisking the whole time. After adding about 2 1/2 cups, turn heat to medium and continue cooking, stirring constantly. Bring gravy to a boil and cook to desired thickness. Add more milk if a thinner gravy is desired. You may also add some of the cooked and crumbled sausage to the gravy.

Steps:

• If desired, peel frozen farmer sausage. (The best way is to hold it under a trickle of warm water.) Break sausage into 4-6 chunks.
• Place potatoes and carrots into a roaster or large casserole dish. Add water to cover the bottom of the dish.
• Place frozen sausage chunks over top (so drippings will flavour the vegetables), cover, and bake at 375F for 1-1/2 hours.
• Remove from oven and drain juices from casserole dish into a saucepan. (You may want to put the sausage and vegetables in a serving dish now and keep warm in the oven.).
• For gravy: Mix flour and milk together, adding milk gradually so a paste forms and slowly gets thicker -- you don't want lumps! (Actually, a Tupperware gravy shaker works best for this. You can just throw it all together and shake it up without worrying about lumps at all.).
• Add milk mixture to drippings and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until gravy is thickened. (Depending on how much water content your sausage had, you may need to add a little more flour or milk to achieve the desired thickness.).
• Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°.
• Remove potatoes from bag and place in a colander. Rinse and drain well. Using a clean dish towel, place potatoes in towel and wring dry.
• Divide potatoes among 4 ramekins. The ramekins I used were 5 1/2" rounds that were 2" deep. I got around 3/4 cup of potatoes into each ramekin.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat then add sausage. Cook until done, about 5 minutes.
• Add flour and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes.
• Add milk slowly, stirring until incorporated. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, until thickened.
• Pour 3/4 cup gravy into each ramekin over the potatoes.
• Crack one egg into each ramekin, on top of the gravy and place into oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until egg white is set and yolk is still runny.
• Note: Each oven bakes differently. Watch your eggs closely and adjust cooking time if needed.

Steps:

• Use raw link sausage- the kind that is in a casing- usually about 12" long and attached together to make an oval shape. Any type is fine- beef, pork, game, mixed etc.
• Brown the raw sausage over medium high heat in a little oil to prevent sticking. Watch carefully so it does not burn. Reduce heat if necessary.
• While sausage is browning slice onions into rings or about 1/4" think. You can dice or chop if you prefer.
• Also peel and cut potatoes into 1"-2" pieces. The peel can be left on if desired.
• Cook sausage until brown on both sides. do not worry if about whether it is cooked through. It will continue to cook in the remaining steps.
• Add sliced onion when browning second side of sausage.
• When sausage has browned on both sides add water, potatoes, salt and pepper.
• Reduce heat to medium or medium low.
• Cook until potatoes are tender stirring frequently and adding more water if needed. Cover if desired to retain steam and heat and prevent water from evaporating.
• The potatoes will thicken the juices and water and make it's own gravy.
• Taste for seasoning, adding more if desired.
