BISCUITS AND SAUSAGE GRAVY


I make this every other weekend. It is packed with calories so i try to limit how often I make these.

1 pound bulk sausage, as lean as possible
2 tablespoons finely minced onion
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 quart milk
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
Dash of Worcestershire sauce
Dash of Tobasco

Baking powder biscuits, recipe of your choice

Break up the sausage into a large saucepan and saute over medium-low heat.  Do not allow the meat to brown or to get crisp.  When the sausage is about three-quarters cooked, add the onion, and cook until the onion is transparent. 

Drain of all but 2 tablespoons of the meat drippings (you don't have to be too precise about this). Stir in the flour with a whisk and cover over medium-low heat for about 6 to 7 minutes, or until the flour turns golden and bubbles up.

Pour in the milk all at once and add the seasonings.  Cook and whisk until the mixture thickens (about 5 minutes or so). Taste for salt and pepper and re-season of necessary.   Split open a nice hot biscuit and top with sausage gravy.
