Sausage Tomato Gravy Recipes

BANGERS & MASH (SAUSAGE WITH ONION GRAVY)

Steps:

• Cook sausages: Heat oil in a large skillet / fry pan over medium high heat. Add sausages and cook, turning, until browned as much as possible all over and cooked through. Cook time will differ depending on sausage size - mine take around 8 minutes.
• Remove sausages onto a plate. Turn heat down to medium.
• 2 tbsp oil remaining: You need around 2 tbsp oil left in the skillet. If you have much less, add a bit of butter or oil.
• Saute onion and garlic: Add onion and garlic, cook until golden brown - around 4 minutes.
• Cook off flour 2 minutes: Add flour and mix through. Then cook, stirring constantly for 2 minutes.
• Gradually add beef stock: Add about 3/4 cup of beef broth and mix into the onion so it becomes a sludge. Then add remaining beef broth and mix until combined. If it's lumpy, use a whisk to help make it smooth.
• Thicken gravy: Simmer, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes until the gravy thickens but is slightly thinner than you want - it will thicken more as you serve it.
• Season: Add salt and pepper. Stir, taste, then add more salt if you want.
• Serve sausages with plenty of gravy, with mashed potato and peas on the side. (Low carb option - Creamy Cauliflower Mash)

ITALIAN SAUSAGE TOMATO SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• In a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat.
• Add the onions, and cook 4-5 minutes until they are soft and golden.
• Add the bell peppers, garlic, bay leaf, crushed red pepper, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
• Cook everything for about 3 minutes. Remove the bay leaf, and set aside.
• Add the 2 cans of whole tomatoes including the juice. With a hand blender, crush the tomatoes. Be careful not to blend the tomatoes too much. You should leave a few chunks of tomatoes in the sauce.
• Add the brown sugar and water. Cook for more 3 minutes.
• Return the bay leaf to the pan.
• Add the pesto, and cover the pan. Once it boils, lower the heat to maintain a low simmer.
• Don't forget to stir occasionally.
• Meanwhile in a skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
• Add the Italian sausages, and sauté until they become brown on the outside but still raw inside.
• Cut the Italian sausages into three pieces each, and add to the tomato sauce. Cook on low heat for about 1½ hours. You can also cook the sauce for longer (3-4 hours) if you have the time.
• Before serving, remove the bay leaf. Serve it over spaghetti or zucchini noodles.

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.

TOMATO GRAVY

Steps:

• In a large dutch oven, saute the onions in the oil until tender. Add the garlic and saute about 30 seconds, stirring often. Take pot off burner so garlic won't cook further. Add in oregano, parsley, bay leaves, basil, and tomato paste. Put the pot back on the burner. Mix ingredients well and stir constantly for about 1-2 minutes. Add tomatoes, sugar, spareribs, Parmesan, and wine. Stir well and take it back off the burner.
• Poke several holes in each of the Italian sausages. Cook the sausages in microwave until they are halfway done. Take out of microwave and discard grease. Cut each sausage in half. Drop the sausages into the pot of tomato gravy. Stir a little.
• Put the pot back on the burner. (**Add the braciole if you made them.) Cook slowly with a lid partly on for 1 1/2 hours. Check it often. Stir as needed. You may add a little water if it gets too thick for your taste.
• (You may also add meatballs if you made them.).

SAUSAGE TOMATO GRAVY

Steps:

• Cook sausage patties in a black cast iron skillet till done, obviously. Then remove the sausage and put it on some paper towels to blot up some of the grease.
• Drain grease from pan leaving only enough to coat the bottom (about 2 tablespoons), add a handful of flour (3 tablespoons will do) to the grease and cook it, stirring ALL the time, till it turns brown.
• Add the milk to the browned flour and stir till all the lumps are gone and it's thick. Add the drained Ro-Tel tomatoes and stir till it's the consistency that you like. (add more milk if it's too thick).
• Crumble up the sausage and add back to the gravy then spoon it over hot biscuits.
• Then turn around and slap the person next to you on account of it's so good you just have to slap somebody!
