Sausage Gravy With Bacon

Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 1 lb sausage (i prefer jimmy dean)
• 1/2 lb diced good thick pepper bacon
• 1 cup flour
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2-1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2-1 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon season salt
• 1 -2 quart milk (i use skim)

Recipe

• 1 fry the diced bacon until slightly crisp, pour out bacon and grease and set aside until later.
• 2 fry the sausage in the same dutch oven until browned, adding a little of the pepper to the sausage as it cooks.
• 3 add the bacon grease and 1/4th of the bacon to the cooked sausage. cook on low and add the butter until melted. add the flour and season salt. cook for 3 minutes to get rid of the flour taste. stirring constantly.
• 4 heat to medium, slowly add the milk, only enough at a time so it doesn't get too runny. add the rest of the bacon.
• 5 add the salt and pepper for your taste. i believe the more pepper the better. the longer this simmers the more flavor it has. this is great with biscuits, hashbrowns or chicken fried steak.
• 6 i always divide the gravy into plastic bowls enough for 1 meal and freeze for another day.
