Tuesday Tastiness #21 - Sausage Gravy

As promised, today I will post my recipe for the delicious gravy I make with last week's recipe for beef sausage.

I love to make homemade gravy. For a long, long time I bought the package of white gravy mix and added water. I decided it had too many ingredients that I didn't want going into our bodies, so I quit making gravy at all. Then I discovered that you can make delicious gravy with real, whole foods. And we are eating it again! This is a very basic recipe that many whole foodies use as a base for all sorts of good things. Let's get started!

Homemade Sausage Gravy

1/3 cup flour (I use a mixture of unbleached and whole wheat)

1/3 cup butter or coconut oil (real butter or good quality coconut oil)

3 1/4 cups milk (I use raw milk when available)

1/2 t salt

1/2 t pepper

Pinch of Italian seasoning (optional)

1/4 pound homemade beef sausage

Melt butter and add flour. Stir or whisk until smooth and cook for 1 or 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk and cook til thick and bubbly, stirring constantly. Add seasonings and sausage and heat through.

Serve over biscuits or toast.

Delicious!
