Country Gravy & Biscuits
This can be prepared with your own homemade country (white) gravy, from a store bought packet (which I used), or from a shortcut to make the packets (which I will be doing soon to test). This also uses store bought refrigerated biscuits in a tube (also which I used) or you can make biscuits from scratch. Since I am in the US now, I used the store bought items for the low cost and convenience. When I return to Thailand, I will certainly be making the shortcuts for the sausage and gravy. Links to the shortcuts are listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 500 grams bulk breakfast sausage, (1 lb), Shortcut
- 2 packets country gravy, (2.75 oz / 78 g packet size), Shortcut
- 1 bell pepper, any color, diced
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup cold milk
- biscuits, for serving, your choice
Instructions
- Heat a pot on medium heat and add the sausage, breaking it up with your spatula as it cooks.
- Cook until the sausage is no longer pink and cooked through. Remove the sausage to a plate and pour out any fat from the pot.
- Place the pot back on heat and add the diced bell pepper. Saute until just softened. Remove from the pot and add to the sausage.
- Place the pot back on heat and add the water and bring to a boil. While the water is heating, measure out the 1 cup of milk into a measuring cup and add the 2 packets and stir with a fork. Bake the biscuits of your choice.
- Once the water is boiling, give the milk mixture another stir, then grab a whisk and start whisking, then pour in the milk mixture and whisk until the gravy thickens. Reduce heat to low.
- Add the sausage to the gravy and swap out the whisk for a spoon and mix the sausage in. Simmer until the sausage is heated through.
- Split open some biscuits, ladle the gravy over, and enjoy.
Notes
In the US this is low cost for the store bought sausage, gravy packets, and refrigerated biscuits. When I return to Thailand, I will be making this from scratch using shortcuts.
