Southern Cajun Sausage Gravy Recipes

Steps:

• Add sausage to a large skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir with a spatula, breaking apart the sausage until cooked and starting to crisp, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add butter, onion powder, and garlic powder; stir until butter is melted.
• Sprinkle flour over sausage and butter and stir until combined. Reduce heat slightly and cook until thick, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Pour in chicken stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer until stock is absorbed and mixture is thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in milk until gravy is hot and bubbly.
• Season to taste with salt and lots of freshly cracked pepper. If gravy becomes too thick, thin out with more milk.

Steps:

• Cook sausage in a medium skillet over medium-low heat, stirring and breaking up with a spatula. With a slotted spoon, removed the browned crumbled sausage to a paper towel.
• Add flour, stirring until blended and bubbling. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups milk; continue stirring and cooking until thickened and bubbly. Add the crumbled sausage. If too thick, add a little more milk. Taste and add salt and pepper. Stir in a dash of cayenne pepper, if desired.
• Serve over hot split and buttered biscuits. Serve sliced tomatoes or fresh fruit with these, or serve as part of a bigger breakfast.

Steps:

• Cook both of the sausage meats in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, breaking the meat up with the spoon, until browned and cooked through. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meat to a bowl.
• Remove all but 3 tablespoons of the fat from the skillet.
• Sprinkle the flour into the skillet, stir well, and cook over medium-high heat for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat.
• Slowly add the milk and the broth, whisking constantly until the mixture is smooth. Return the skillet to the heat and cook until the gravy is slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the thyme, and season with salt and pepper.
• Add the crumbled sausage meat and combine well.
• Cook over medium heat until warmed through.
• Serve immediately over split biscuits.
