Sausage Gravy
 
1 package whole hog sausage (eg, Jimmy Dean, Tennessee Pride)
2 cups milk
4 Tablespoons drippings reserved from sausage
4 Tablespoons flour
salt
pepper
seasonings
 
In a heavy skillet, preferably iron, brown sausage over medium
heat.  When sausage is browned, remove from skillet, reserving
drippings.  You need at least 4 Tablespoons drippings, if theres
not enough, melt butter to make the difference.
 
Sprinkle flour over drippings. Heat and stir until brown and fully
mixed.  Gradually add milk, and heat until thick and bubbly.  Return
sausage to skillet, continue heating until warm.  Season with salt
& pepper to taste.  We often seasoned it with sage as well.  Serve
over biscuits.  Makes approx. 2.5-3 cups.
