Sausage & Biscuits Dutch Oven Recipe

Sausage & Biscuits Dutch Oven Recipe

You cook the sausage and prepare the gravy in the Dutch oven, then place biscuit dough on top and bake until the biscuits are golden brown. This method creates a hearty, one-pot meal, ideal for home or camp cooking. 

1 pound fresh sausage
3 tablespoons shortening, or bacon drippings
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions:
1. In a large heavy skillet (preferably cast iron), or your Dutch Oven brown the sausage breaking it up with a spatula over medium high heat. Do not drain.

2. Add the shortening, flour, salt and pepper.

Cook stirring constantly until flour begins to brown.

3. Slowly add milk while continuing to stir.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for one minute stirring occasionally. As the gravy cools it will thicken so if you want thinner gravy, add a little more milk.

4. Cut the biscuits in half and pour the gravy over the biscuits.

If you want just a plain milk gravy recipe, form the sausage into patties and brown. Remove them from the skillet to use to make sausage biscuits and continue the recipe the same way.
