Sausage Gravy
Danielle loves a good home cooked meal. One of her favorite meals is biscuits and sausage gravy.
“All of my recipes are in my head – a little dash of this, a little dash of that – like my momma does.”
Ingredients
- 1 pound of sausage
- Butter (approximately 3-4 tablespoons)
- Flour (approximately ¼ cup)
- Milk (approximately 3 cups)
Directions
Cook sausage, then add 3-4 tablespoons of butter. Sprinkle mixture with approximately ¼ cup flour and stir. Allow mixture to cook for several minutes. Then add approximately 3 cups milk, stirring occasionally over medium heat until gravy thickens – about 5-10 minutes.
The Old Mill Restaurant
Danielle’s favorite restaurant for good old fashion, home-cooked meals is The Old Mill restaurant in Pigeon Forge, TN.
“I have a love for home-cooked meals. Good old fashion biscuits and sausage gravy, chicken and dumplings, etc.”
