1. WOULD NOT KNOW - ITS NOT A HEALTHY FOOD.
2. Take your bulk sausage and cook it until it's done. Don't drain off the fat. Sprinkle a good amount of flour on the sausage and stir. Pour milk over the sausage/flour until it covers the sausage a good bit, but not to the top of the pan. You want to bring this to a boil so the flour will thicken and make your gravy. Season with pepper and taste to see if you need to season with salt. The sausage might have enough salt in it already. If the gravy isn't thick enough, make a slurry out of flour and milk and add until the gravy thickens. If the gravy is too thick, then add a little bit more milk. In the time it takes to make homemade biscuits (Bisquick ones) the sausage gravy will be done. It's a lot of guessing, but you'll catch on. No, it's not healthy, but I use the reduced fat Jimmy Dean to cut back on the fat and I still get enough drippings to make a darn good biscuits and gravy.
3. For the biscuits: 2 cups all purpose flour 4 teaspoons baking powder ¼ teaspoon baking soda pinch of salt 3 oz. cold butter, diced 8 oz buttermilk Combine and sift the dry ingredients. Gently knead in the butter. Add the buttermilk and knead on a floured board just enough to bring the dough together. It is vital that you knead gently and no more than is necessary or you will develop the gluten in the flour and make the biscuits tough. Good biscuits are as much a function of technique as ingredients. Form a flat mass with the dough and cut out biscuits with a biscuit cutter. Don’t make them too high or the outside could become over browned by the time the inside is cooked. Place them on parchment paper on a sheet tray and then into a preheated 400-degree oven. Start the gravy immediately. It should be done close to the same time as the biscuits, which is when they are golden in color. For the gravy: ½ pound ground breakfast sausage. 2 tablespoons butter 4 tablespoons all purpose flour 3 cups cold milk Salt and pepper to taste Sauté the sausage until it is cooked and has released as much of its fat as possible. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and do NOT drain the grease. You’ll need it to make the roux. You should have about 2 tablespoons of rendered pork fat. Add the butter and melt it. Then add the flour a little at a time over medium heat, constantly whisking. Cook for about 2-3 minutes. Now start adding the cold milk a little at a time, whisking incessantly. Toward the end of the milk add the sausage back in. When you reach the desired consistency add salt and pepper to taste.
4. For the gravy, Cook and crumble 1 pound bulk sausage until it's no longer pink, remove all but a couple of tablespoons of the fat. Sprinkle two to three tablespoons of flour over the sausage, cook and stir for a minute or two to remove the "raw" taste of the flour. Add two and 1/2 cups milk, your choice on type, and depending on the spiciness of the sausage, add 1/4 - 1/2 tsp. coarse black pepper. Salt only after tasting, sausage is typically salty enough. Once it starts to bubble, it will be at it's thickest, turn off the heat.
5. Brown 1 lb of R B Rice's medium seasoned sausage. Do not drain fat. Add 2 TBSP butter. Add 2-4 cups of milk. Get a 12-16 oz. jar with a tight fitting lid. Fill 1/3 the way with flour. Fill almost to the top with water. put lid on tight and shake up until smooth. Add the mixture a little at a time while stirring at medium to high heat, until desired thickness. Season with salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste. Turn off fire, serve with buttermilk biscuts. Make sure you use whole or 2% milk-don't use skim milk.
6. Sausage Gravy 1 lb. sausage 2-3 tbsp. flour 1/2 tsp. garlic powder 1 tbsp. Sugar milk Over medium heat, crumble sausage and brown. Sift flour into pan and stir with a whisk, creating a roux with the fat rendered from the sausage (some people remove the sausage, I personally don't). Add garlic powder and sugar to roux, add milk, stirring constantly as it comes to a boil. Be careful not to spill as gravy is very hot. Gravy will thicken as it simmers. If it becomes too thick, add more milk. Return sausage to pan if you had removed it.
