AIMEE'S SAUSAGE GRAVY

Thanks to Aimee buddy for sharing this recipe with me! It’s one of those fill-your-belly, good down home-cooking type recipes that you can’t help but love!

AIMEE’S SAUSAGE GRAVY

1 pound sausage
1 small onion, diced (optional)
3 to 4 TBSP butter
3 TBSP flour
4 cups milk (separated)
3 TBSP cornstarch
2 tsp sage
1/4 tsp basil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp red pepper
Biscuits (for serving day)

COOKING DAY:
Brown the sausage and onion. Once browned, take the sausage out of the pan but leave the “drippings.”

In that same pan, melt the 3 to 4 tablespoons of butter and, when melted, add 3 tablespoons of flour to make rue. Slowly add in 3 cups of milk. If you warm the milk up in the microwave first, this process will go a little more quickly.

Take the remaining 1 cup of milk and combine it with 3 tablespoons of cornstarch. Warm it in the microwave and stir until it’s nice and smooth. Add to the rest of the milk mixture.

This will need to simmer for a while so it gets nice and thick. Once your milk gravy base has thickened, add the rest of the seasonings (sage, basil, salt, red pepper) and then add the sausage back in.

Cool and place in labeled freezer bag. Freeze.

SERVING DAY:
Reheat and serve over biscuits.
