The Best Homemade Sausage Gravy Recipe

    Homemade sausage gravy is a true Southern classic breakfast dish and one of my all-time favorite foods. My son Ronny and I could eat it every single day and never grow tired of it.  My sausage gravy recipe is easy to make and tastes delicious so there is no reason for it not to go into your weekly rotation.  

    A true hearty breakfast that you can have on the table in less than 30 minutes.  So good over some homemade biscuits

 


Ingredients:

3-3 1/2 c. milk

1/3 c. all-purpose flour

1 lb. breakfast sausage 

2 T. butter

1 tsp. pepper

1/2 tsp. salt


    Brown your sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat.  Cook until no pink remains.  Once the sausage is browned (do not drain), turn your stove to medium-low heat, add in the butter and let it melt and then sprinkle in about half of the required flour.  

    Stir and let the sausage get covered in the flour.  Add in more flour a little at a time until all the flour has been added.  Allow it to cook for one minute and then slowly pour in the milk, a half cup at a time, whisking the entire time.

 


    Keep whisking and cook until it becomes thick and bubbly.  Stir in the salt and pepper and serve over biscuits.  

 


 

    We also make a great Chocolate Gravy to serve over biscuits too.

Crock Pot Scalloped Potatoes

             


        These crock pot scalloped potatoes are so easy to make and turn out extra cheesy and delicious! 

         My family loves these potatoes and we often pair it up with a yummy meatloaf.  These two together create a perfect comfort food that your whole family will enjoy. 

·         3 lbs. potatoes, peeled and sliced thin or use dehydrated potatoes

·        2 c. cheddar cheese, divided

·        1 ½ c. heavy cream, divided

·        1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz.)

·        3 T. dehydrated onions

·        ½ tsp. pepper

·        ½ tsp. garlic powder

·        Chives, optional

 

Spray the inside of your crock pot with cooking spray.  Turn your crock pot onto high.

Place half of the potatoes into the bottom of the crock pot and then sprinkle on the onions.

 In a bowl, combine 1 cup of the cheese, 1 cup of the heavy cream, the cream of chicken soup, pepper, and garlic powder.  Stir to combine and the pour half of the cheese mixture into the crock pot.  Add in the remaining potatoes, then the rest of the cheese mixture and a half cup of the heavy cream.   Cover and cook for 4-4 ½ hours or you can cook it on low for 6 ½-7 hours.

 

 

 Serves 8. 25 carbs. 

 


 

             I really love these potatoes, but let’s be honest…I love about every kind of potato from mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, seasoned baked red potatoes, and French fries.  What is your favorite way to eat potatoes?

Homemade Creamy Perfectly Chocolate Chocolate Frosting Recipe

    


    This is the best frosting I have EVER made!  It is not overly sweet and has a great consistency that is soft & smooth.  This makes a truly luscious frosting with just the right amount of chocolate to it.  It is so easy to make and takes just about 10 minutes to make.  I NEVER buy frosting anymore because this one is just too good to not make and use.

 


 

Ingredients:

  • 2 2/3 c. powdered sugar
  • 2/3 c. cocoa
  • 1/3 c. milk
  • 1/3 c. butter 
  • 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

    Put your butter into a small saucepan on your stove and gently melt it down over low heat.  When it is melted, stir in your cocoa.  Once the mixture begins to thicken, remove the saucepan from the stove and pour the contents into a medium sized bowl.

    Stir in the milk, vanilla and powdered sugar.  Stir well and then it is ready to use.  Great on cakes and on cupcakes.  
 
 
    My husband and boys even like to make chocolate frosting sandwiches with it.  

    The frosting is enough to frost a 9"x13" cake.  If you are making a layer cake, just double the recipe. Be sure to check out my cream cheese frosting recipe too. 




    I like to use this frosting on my Wacky Cake, my White Sheet cakes and even with my Homemade Chocolate Cake Mix.
