Sausage Gravy and Biscuits

This dish is as authentic to the old south as any dish can be. When the family used to make one of our frequent trips home to Florida to visit the family we always made it a point to find the truck stops with the best sausage gravy and then mark them on our maps. It is inexpensive, easily prepared, delicious and, oh yeah, the kids love it.

Authentic southern, country style sausage seasoning can be hard to find but thanks to the many mail order houses, and the Internet, it’s much more readily available to those living outside of the south than in previous years. Pendery’s, in Dallas, Texas is a very good source.

Prepare the white sauce recipe from the Extras section found in this cookbook, omitting the salt (the sausage seasoning is already salty), doubling the recipe to make 2 cups. Add the sausage seasoning.

Brown the ground pork and drain the grease. Mix with the spiced white sauce and serve over warm biscuits
