Grandma's own sausage gravy recipe! Works with bacon, too. Serve hot over freshly baked biscuits.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cups milk
Instructions
-
1
Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until crumbly and browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove sausage to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; set aside.

2
Pour off most of the grease from the skillet, leaving 2 to 3 tablespoons. Stir flour into grease in the skillet over medium-low heat. Whisk vigorously until roux forms, scraping the bottom of the skillet. Reduce heat to low and let roux cook for at least 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Grandma always "burned" hers a little on purpose.

Stream milk into roux, whisking constantly. After adding about 2 1/2 cups, increase heat to medium and continue cooking, whisking constantly. Bring gravy to a boil and cook to desired thickness. Add some of the sausage to gravy if desired.

Cinnamon-Sugar Popcorn
This sweet popcorn recipe makes a lot, so either invite your friends or store it in an airtight container for later. I first tried this when I was visiting my sister in West Virginia. After trying it, I loved it. However, I neglected to ask her for the recipe. Ten years later, I have it, and I still love it! The kids can help make it if you use an air popper (which I did to reduce fat and calories — there's enough in the butter). I used my deep-dish lasagna pan to cook it in the oven. You can use a roasting pan or a large, deep-dish pan.
Savory Skillet Burgers
A last-minute quick meal turned into a family favorite. Best homemade skillet burgers I have ever had and they are surprisingly not too bad for you! Making them into sliders on lightly toasted sourdough is an amazing gourmet treat for guests! My boyfriend got out the ketchup, and after one bite of these burgers he put the ketchup away. These burgers are perfect as-is--you don't even need buns!
