    Dirty South Gravy

    First, I hope this is where this recipe needs to go, if not, I ask that the moderators move it to the appropriate spot. My wife asked that I share this as it is her number one recipe of mine (even above brisket and beef ribs, which hurt my pride a bit) and I am required to cook it at minimum once a month.

    Ingredients:

    1lb of breakfast pan sausage (I recommend Slovacek’s, but any medium to spicy breakfast pan sausage will do)

    2 cups heavy cream

    1 large pat of butter

    Seasoned salt to taste

    Ground black pepper to taste

    1 splash (about a teaspoon) of hot sauce (I recommend Trappey’s Red Devil Sauce)

    1 Tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce

    1/3 cup of REAL maple syrup

    1 black iron skillet (I use an old No10 Wagner)



    Directions:

    Brown the sausage well in the skillet over medium low heat, and crumble. Once browned, add the butter and cook until the water is out and fondt (the brown goodies stuck to the bottom of the skillet) has formed. Add the heavy cream and bring to a low simmer, stirring to deglaze the bottom of the pan. Once a simmer has been attained, add the rest of the ingredients, and continue to simmer for about 10 minutes. Serve over biscuits or toast points.

    This looks interesting, I'll have to give it a try. Slovacek Sausage for the win! I love their BBQ links.

    Will definitely try this. Love biscuits and gravy. Will probably cut back on the maple syrup, not big on sweet. thanks!

      honestly I suggest you don't. Try it there at first, it's not overly sweet. The heat and fat balance it out perfectly. Also, if your using real maple syrup, it has a savory quality of its own. If you don't like it, I'll reimburse you the cost of the sausage, lol.

      LOL Okay I'll try. Yes only real maple syrup ever.
      I stay away from sweet BBQ sauces also. Love the savory and the vinegary.

      Sausage gravy & biscuits is a Christmas morning tradition at my house, a few years ago we messed up and someone bought maple breakfast sausage since nothing is open Christmas morning i just went with what we had. it was a beautiful mistake. no like texastweeter i add a little real maple syrup every time i make it.

    The word's Southern and Maple are an oxymoron. Cane syrup or sorghum yes, mapleno way.

      ce back to us on one of the northern raids from the Civil War....at least that's my story and I'm sticking to it! (originally I made it with 1/4 cup molasses, but the maple is even better...) Bkhuna

      Excuse me, there was NEVER a Civil War. It was the war of Northern Aggression!

    Doesn’t the Yankee syrup fight the southern sausage gravy?

          texastweeter Interesting, no flour? What should the consistency of the finished gravy be?

          The secret is the heavy cream and that 10 minutes of gentle simmering. If you used milk or other thin liquid, you would probably have to simmer longer and/or use flour as a thickener.

          What's the right consistency? Whatever you like best. I personally shoot for a thin gravy texture -- creamy but easily pourable. The biscuits will want to soak up some of that gravy especially if the gravy isn't too thick. But it's all personal choice.

            Agree with this. It's how I make my brandy creame au poivre sauce for Steak Au Poivre. Just reduce the cream. Delish!

          Oooohhhhhh! Myyyyyyyyyy! I would love that. Darn that my wife is lactose intolerant, and darn that I try not to eat a heavy breakfast. Maybe I'll make it for dinner when she's out of town!

            I think my favorite ingredient might be the Wagner 10. 🕶

            What I might add to it, as I love to do, is a sunny egg or two on top.

              I like BSR stuff on my glass top usually, and Wagner in the oven, campfire, or gas range, but that no.10 is the perfect size for this recipe.

            The popular breakfast choice at my local Norwegian restaurant is "Ole's Special" -- sausage gravy over hash browns with couple of eggs (sunny side up, of course!) over top. They make the biscuits and gravy version too. It's hard to choose.
