Tonight I made biscuits and gravy for dinner. I do make the best gravy in the world – ask my mom or daughter.

I made Bisquick drop biscuits (which I wasn’t impressed with – they tasted flour-y).

To make the gravy, brown 2 pounds of sausage in my dutch oven (I used one hot, one mild, to keep the kids happy). Don’t drain it! Add about a cup of flour, stirring it in until you can’t see it anymore, because it’s coating the meat.

Add about a half gallon or so of milk and stir over heat until it comes to a boil. Lower the heat and cook for a few minutes, until it’s thick and the flour taste is cooked off. Add salt and pepper – if you use flavorful sausage, you don’t need to add any more spices.

Break your biscuits in half, and ladle gravy over top.

Mmmmm…. this is not on anyone’s diet. (I have friends doing low-carb diets, and friends doing low-fat diets, so I have a tendency to evaluate foods by which diet they’d be good on.)
