ingredients
- 8 ounces ground beef (browned, crumbled, and drained) or 8 ounces pork sausage (browned, crumbled, and drained)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 1 1⁄2 cups whole milk
- 1⁄2 cup half-and-half cream
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- purchased refrigerated buttermilk biscuit
directions
- Cook and drain beef. (I rinse the beef under hot water to remove all of the grease -- it is rich enough!).
- Melt butter in a pan and when melted and lightly sizzling add the flour.
- Whisk until combined and gently simmer the butter/flour mixture for about two minutes to remove the flour/starch taste but don't let it brown any.
- Add the 1.5 cups of milk and quickly whisk until smooth. SImmer until thick over medium heat stirring constantly. It will be quite thick.
- Add the half and half cream and quickly whisk until smooth.
- Cook over low heat until thickened.
- Add the beef and adjust the seasonings.
- Serve over good biscuits well buttered.
- This is a very creamy and rich gravy. You may use 2 cups whole milk if you need to omit the cream.
- If it is too thick for your taste -- then dilute with more milk -- but it usually is perfect the way it is written.
- Leftovers are excellent.

I made this on 10/16/17 for mine and my SO's dinner,and most importantly for Potsie's COOK A THON. Since there was just two of us the recipe was reduced by half ,except for the amount of sausage that remained the same. Instead of serving it over biscuits, I put mine over Fried Potatoes. And it was a wonderful guilty pleasure,which will be made again. No tweaking was needed, perfect as written.Thanks for posting Potsie, and " Keep Smiling :) "Reply
