Sausage Gravy

Is there anything better then some good sausage gravy? Its requested so often by my family. It makes the house smell good and makes my fried chicken go to the next level of sinful decadence.

It is a very easy recipe. So give it a try

• Start with 2 pounds of sausage in an electric skillet or frying pan and brown up well
• With a slotted spoon take sausage out of frying pan and place it on a paper towel covered plate...
  

• To the fat left in the pan, add 3 T of butter 
• Add about 4-5 T of KY Kernel flour (if you only have regular then just add some salt and pepper to taste at the end)

• Whisk the flour and fat together to make a great roux.  This takes about 2 -3 minutes
• Add 2 tsp of garlic powder (Using fresh over powers the dish so I advise not using it)

• Add between 3-5 cups of whole or low fat 2% milk (NOT skim)
• Keep adding milk slowly and whisking constantly. If you added too much and need to thicken it up then take a ladle full of gravy put in a bowl with 2-3 tsp of cornstarch whisk well then add to gravy
• Once the gravy is at the consistency you like, add 2 T  dried Marjoram (this gives it a unique freshness much better than parsley)
• Whisk all this together bring to a simmer and add back in the crumbled sausage
• give it about 3-5 minutes to simmer then serve!! 
  

Your family will sing your praises for sure! Serve over Biscuits, fried chicken, or potatoes. The possibilities are endless!

Enjoy the recipe and let me know what you think!

Keep cooking and smiling because you are truly blessed
