What is sausage gravy and biscuits? Turkey has now become the traditional English meal for Christmas but years ago it was goose. I love goose but it is so expensive and I also get a little nervous with all the hot fat that comes out of it and get scared of burning myself. I would love a goose but cannot really justify the price this year maybe next.

If you ever visited Texas, you wouldn't get to leave without trying biscuits and gravy. (grits too. Yummm)

Here's a recipe and a picture for you...

Down-Home Sausage Gravy

Savory breakfast sausage adds a ton of flavor to this simple biscuits 'n gravy recipe. It's practically a meal in itself but don't be shy about adding eggs and hash browns for a hearty brunch.

Ingredients

* 1 (16 ounce) package fresh breakfast sausage
* 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
* 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
* 2 (12 fluid ounce) cans NESTLE® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk
* 1 cup water
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* hot pepper sauce to taste (Tammy's note here -YUCK. I'd skip the hot sauce.)
* hot biscuits

Prep Time:

5 mins

Cook Time: 15 mins

Ready In: 20 mins

Serves: 8

Directions

COMBINE sausage and onion in large skillet. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until sausage is no longer pink. Stir in flour; mix well. Stir in evaporated milk, water, salt and hot pepper sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a boil. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes.

SERVE immediately over biscuits.

You can serve it with eggs or anything else you want of course.

Definitely not your most health conscious meal, but it is sturdy and holds you for a long time.

Sausage gravy & biscuits is a southern delicacy! You cook up breakfast sausage (Tennessee Pride is the brand we've found to be the best), not links or patties, just the bulk meat. From the drippings of the sausage you make a thick milk gravy, then dump the sauage back in to really cook in the sausage flavor. The sausage gravy is served over hot biscuits. If you've never had it before, don't even bother with trying to get it in a restaurant. I've never found a restaurant that makes it taste better than just edible. And if you know how to make a good milk gravy you'll be happy with the results of making it yourself.

I've never had goose, or duck, but I'm not really fond of dark meat on chicken or turkey, so I'm not sure I'd enjoy them.
