Sausage gravy... a variation
« Reply #-1 on: April 12, 2013, 12:05:03 PM »
Didn't have any sausage in the fridge but did have some homemade Andouille so I created a variation of the classic biscuits and gravy...



Took the casings off of two links of Andouille and pan-fried the sausage with a bit of butter and oil...




Added flour to make a nice roux and then whole milk to form a nice cream sauce. Seasoned with a healthy dose of freshly ground black pepper and a springling of CRP and freshly chopped flat leaf parsley. Served with poached eggs over English muffins.

Not as good as the traditional sausage gravy but still pretty good eats!

I don't know, but I think I might prefer the andouille.  ???

Any port in a storm, as they say.  If you'd used hamburger you'd have a popular variation on SOS  ;D

I'm up for the andouille version.  Or the standard version.  Or a chorizo version.  Etc.

Sure glad you posted this becasue I would never have thought of using andouille and it had to be good.

When I was in the service I think I was one a only a few that liked SOS... My grandmother used to make it with chipped beef but she never rinsed the beef so it was very salty.

Dang, but that looks good.  I for one am glad you didn't have any regular sausage in the fridge!
