This is a beautiful example of classic, very old-school American country cooking. There are a lot of variations, and this is my favorite. This goes on fried chicken, country-fried steak, and biscuits.

Ingredients

  • butter: 2 Tbsp
  • ounces breakfast sausage links, casings removed and meat broken up: 8 piece
  • strips bacon, sliced crosswise: 4 piece
  • green onions (light parts only): 0.5 cup (chopped)
  • packed all-purpose flour: 0.33333 cup
  • pinch cayenne pepper: 1 piece (to taste)
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper: (to taste)
  • ½ cups cold milk: 2 piece
  • green onion: 1 Tbsp (chopped)
  • pinch cayenne pepper: 1 piece (for garnish)

  1. Melt butter in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat; cook sausage and bacon in the hot butter, stirring to break the sausage up into small pieces, until sausage is browned and bacon is almost crisp, about 10 minutes. Mix 1/2 cup green onion into sausage mixture and saute until onions are soft, about 3 more minutes.

  2. Stir flour into meat mixture, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, until thoroughly combined and mixture is pasty. Cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 minutes to remove raw taste of flour.

  3. Whisk milk into meat mixture, about 1 cup at a time, until combined. Continue to whisk until gravy begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Turn heat to medium-high, bring gravy to a simmer, and season with a pinch of cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low.
