Biscuits and Gravy...

I love biscuits and gravy! My momly has the BEST biscuits and gravy recipe I have ever had! Personally I would have NEVER mixed all these ingredients together, but it's super good! (I am not a mixer of foods...nothing gets mixed unless its a casserole, biscuits and gravy or chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes and gravy - that's just a must!) Anyway...here is the recipe....

1 LG sauce pan
1lb of Jimmy Dean or Owen sausage (the kind that looks like a little tube)
1 egg per person eating plus one to grow on (4 people = 5 eggs)
1/4 c of flour
milk
salt and peppper to taste
 
Start off by boiling your eggs (once the water starts boiling turn your timer on for 13 mins then they will be done!) While your eggs are boiling, put your biscuits in to bake and start browning your Jimmy Dean (Owen) sausage. Once you meat is done browning lower the heat to low. Sift in flour. Make sure there are no clumps of flour.Once your grease is completely gone and your sausage is completely coated add milk. I have never measured this...sorry...I fill the pan with milk until the sausage is almost completely covered...add less milk for a thicker gravy. After I pour in the milk I turn my burner on Medium heat and let it begin to bubble. While the gravy is heating I usually drain and peel the boiled eggs. I put them on a plate and after they are peeled I mash them with a fork or potato masher. (do not demolish them, just achieve little bite sized pieces) I stir the mashed eggs in to the gravy and let it to continue to thicken. If the gravy is getting thicker than I want I add a little bit more milk...I add slowly so that I can get the consistency I want. At this point I add salt and pepper. Once everything is mixed and your biscuits are ready then you are ready to SERVE!!!

I hope you try this recipe and LOVE IT! It's a family FAVE!!
