Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 1/4 cup minced onion
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp red chili flakes
  • 3/4 lb high quality ground country sausage (mild Pine Street Market was used)
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 5 cups chicken stock
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 4 dashes Tabasco sauce
  • 2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instruction

  • Preheat a 4 to 6 quart saucepan over medium heat and begin cooking onion in butter. Once the onion is slightly amber, 2-3 minutes, add garlic and red chili flakes, continue to brown for 1-2 more minutes and then add the sausage and salt. Stir, breaking up sausage with a wooden spoon for another 5 minutes.
  • Gradually sprinkle in the flour while stirring. Once flour is incorporated, 1-2 minutes, slowly add stock while stirring. Increase heat to high and continue cooking until sauce comes to a boil and starts to thicken. Add cream and season with nutmeg, Tabasco, and pepper. Bring mixture up to a boil again while stirring. Remove from heat and cool slightly, about 5 minutes, to thicken.
