Otoros Ultimate Sausage Gravy Recipes

OTORO'S ULTIMATE SAUSAGE GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat a 10" to 12" skillet over medium high heat and add sausage.
• Break up sausage with a wooden spoon. Add onion after a minute or two.
• Once the sausage is cooked, use a teaspoon to heavily dust the sausage with flour.
• Stir to incorporate the flour, you want it to coat the sausage and soak up the grease.
• Once the flour has turned a very light brown (about 2-3 minutes) add the milk and bring to a boil.
• Turn the heat down to medium and continue to stir, it should thicken up quite quickly. If the gravy seems to thick, add more milk.
• Add the hot pepper sauce (I like Frank's) and 8-10 grinds of coarse black pepper. Stir and serve immediately. Bon Appetito.

SAUSAGE GRAVY

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.
