Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/4 pounds ground pork
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground sage
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2-3 tablespoons butter ((optional))
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups whole milk ((warmed))
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch* ((optional))
  • 2 teaspoons water* ((optional))

Instruction

  • Cook the ground pork in a skillet over medium-heat.
  • As the pork browns, add the ginger, sage, salt and pepper.
  • Once the pork is crumbled and browned, remove it from the skillet to a bowl and set aside.
  • You'll needs about 3 tablespoons of fat in the skillet after you cook the meat. If your pork is lean, you may need to add tablespoons of butter to equal about 3 tablespoons total of fat.
  • In the skillet over medium heat, add flour to drippings/butter and mix it well. 
  • Slowly add the warm milk, whisking constantly until the gravy starts to thicken, about 10-15 minutes.**
  • Add the sausage back into the skillet and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the sausage gravy simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring often.
  • Serve warm over hot biscuits.
