Buttermilk Sausage Gravy

This is my husband's recipe that was handed down to him by his grandmother. His grandmother stated that you must use Farmer John® sausage and bacon drippings or it would not taste as delicious as hers. It was never written down, just a pinch of this and a handful of that. I finally got him to measure everything and this is the result.

Ingredients

  • 1 (8 ounce) package pork link sausages (such as Farmer John(R))

  • ¼ cup bacon drippings

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 ½ cups buttermilk

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Place sausages and bacon drippings in a skillet and cook over medium heat, breaking up sausage into bite-sized pieces, until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Add flour, stirring constantly. Slowly add buttermilk and cook and stir until gravy has thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.

Cook's Note:

If gravy is too thick, thin it out by adding 1 tablespoon of buttermilk at a time.
