Instructions
-
Prepare the Sausage Mixture:
Begin by breaking the bulk pork sausage into bite-sized pieces within a large frying pan. This will help it cook evenly and create that delightful texture you desire. -
Add the Onions:
To the pan, add the diced onions, allowing them to mingle with the sausage. As they cook together, the flavors will develop beautifully. -
Cooking:
Fry the sausage and onions over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until both are golden brown and cooked through. This process should take around 8 to 10 minutes, and you’ll want to ensure the sausage is no longer pink and the onions are tender. -
Drain the Mixture:
Once cooked, drain the mixture onto paper towels to absorb excess fat, then set aside. This step helps to prevent your dish from becoming overly greasy. -
Making the White Sauce:
In a medium or large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. This step requires your attention, but don’t worry; making a white sauce is quite straightforward and only takes a few minutes. -
Incorporate the Flour:
Once the butter has melted completely, add the flour, stirring continuously to combine. It’s crucial that you do not allow the flour to brown at this stage; instead, watch for it to cook just enough to eliminate the raw flour taste, which typically takes about 2 minutes. -
Add the Milk Gradually:
As the flour and butter mixture begins to thicken, gradually pour in the milk while continuing to stir. This slow incorporation ensures a smooth sauce, so take your time with this step. -
Thicken the Sauce:
Continue adding milk as needed, stirring all the while, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. Ideally, you want a thick, creamy sauce that clings to the sausage without being overly runny. -
Combine and Season:
Once the sauce is at the right thickness, add the previously prepared sausage and onion mixture. Stir to combine thoroughly, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjusting the seasoning is key to achieving that perfect balance of flavors. -
Serve:
Finally, pour the luscious creamed sausage over your freshly baked biscuits, allowing the warm sauce to envelop each piece. This dish is best enjoyed hot, straight from the kitchen, promising to deliver comfort and satisfaction with every bite.
This delicious creamed sausage for biscuits not only showcases the richness of traditional Southern cooking but also serves as a reminder of how simple ingredients can come together to create something truly extraordinary. Perfect for breakfast or brunch, it invites warmth and nostalgia, making it a dish worth savoring. Enjoy your meal, and don’t forget to share this recipe with those who appreciate the comforting tastes of home!
