Sausage Gravy

[The Ironic Chef]

I looked through all the recipes posted on this thread and was surprised to see that no one posted a sausage gravy for biscuits.
Being someone that served in the military it is very much like an SOS.

Brown one pound of breakfast sausage that isn't in a casing. Around this area we have sausage we purchase in a log form. Jimmy Dean or Bob Evans sausage. After the sausage has browned add 3 tablespoons of flour and stir it in well. Then slowly add enough milk to get the gravy consistency that you prefer. About 1 1/2 to 2 cups. Season it with salt to taste and a lot of fresh ground black pepper. If you want to tweak it use your imagination. Onion, garlic, nutmeg, sliced fresh picked tomato from the garden. Serve it over hot biscuits, corn bread or waffles, toast. The possibilities are endless.

Not really for breakfast, but since you mentioned it.
I didn't have a fondness for it while in the service, but 40 years later I love it. Go figure.

CREAMED CHIPPED BEEF (SOS)

2 tablespoons butter
2 TBSP flour
finely chopped onion to taste
2 cups milk
1 1 oz package Dried beef -- Budding (1-4)
Salt and pepper -- to taste
cayenne pepper -- to taste

Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour until smooth and heat until bubbly. Gradually, stir in milk and continue stirring to keep from getting lumpy. The mixture-which is white sauce-will gradually thicken. Add the chipped beef (separate and cut into thin strips) and keep over low heat about 5 minutes. Salt and pepper as desired. Serve over toast, biscuits, mashed potato or baked potato.

I make sausage and gravy a good bit being a Southern Lady...taste great with home made buttermilk biscuits.

I make sausage and gravy a lot for my husband and I. I cheat and use canned biscuits though.

I LOVE sausage gravy & biscuits... I also love my hash browns and eggs drowned in it!

Chipped Beef Gravy? Try it on a Sourdough Waffle. YUM! Also- try slicing warm hard-boiled into your chipped beef gravy- we grew up eating "Egg Gravy" on toast and biscuits.

During my tour of duty, the SOS served where ever I went was actually made with ground beef. It was made the same way the sausage gravy is made. I think that during that time it was just a way to use up left over hamburger patties from the day before.
When ever I eat anything served in a white sauce, country style gravy the more fresh ground black pepper the better. No way a dash'll do it.

it is best with lots of black pepper.

I have a low-fat version that is as good if not better than real sausage: Two tablespoons Canola oil in skillet with one thin pat of real butter. Crumble six Morning Star Imitation Sausage Patties (soy) in the oil mix and brown as you would regular saugage. Add three to four (heaping) tablespoons flour, salt and pepper to taste. When flour just begins to brown add two cups cold 1% milk and one can of defatted chicken broth. Simmer until thickened. We serve over toast.
