Poor Boys Sausage Gravy

This gravy is made without using milk. I have tried to keep it as simple as possible. It is a decent gravy for when you are out of milk. If you are out of margarine or butter, you can just add another heaping Tbsp of shortening. The margarine seems to give it a little better flavor though. I use all purpose flour for mine, but you can use self rising also. More or less pepper can be added to suit your taste. This makes a good serving for one hungry person. If more is wanted, just double the ingredients.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
On medium heat melt the shortening and margarine.
- 2
Thaw and crumble in 2 sausage patties.
- 3
Cook until sausage is browned.
- 4
SLOWLY add in 1/4 cup of flour (level), about 2 tsp at a time, whisking constantly. (Do not add any more flour than this.)
- 5
Once all flour is added, continue to whisk for about 5 minutes until gravy has darkened. (This helps cook the flour taste out.)
- 6
SLOWLY whisk in 1 1/2 cups of water about 1/4 cup at a time.
- 7
Turn heat to medium low and whisk in 1 tsp of black pepper. (More or less to taste. Usually I just sprinkle over gravy until covered nicely.)
- 8
Whisk well, then let sit for 10 minutes to simmer.
- 9
After 10 minutes simmering whisk together well again and serve.

I wanted to make some gravy sauce for meat, and while I was looking on the internet for ideas, I found sausage gravy. This is my original version, that I came up with after a bit of experimentation.Be sure not to take your eyes off the pan, keeping watch so that it doesn't burn. Other than that, it's easy. Add the milk bit by bit until it reaches your desired consistency. You can also add in your favorite vegetables, or make it just using sausage, butter, flour, and milk.

Can’t live without this stuff. It’s usually eaten with biscuits but is just as good on toast, over grits, eggs or with tortillas even. Without the sausage it’s your basic white country gravy. My grandson has biscuits and gravy running through his veins😂 SherryRandall: The Leftover Chronicles -
