Sausage Milk Gravy and Homemade Dumplings

Delicious Sausage Milk Gravy and Homemade Dumplings Recipe

Today, I am thrilled to share with y'all one of my favorite fall recipes. Let me tell you, life doesn't get much better than indulging in my homemade sausage gravy and dumplings! This dish is the epitome of fall comfort food at its finest!

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound of sausage

  • 1/4 cup of self-rising flour

  • 2 cups of milk

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Ingredients for the dumplings:

  • 1 cup of self-rising flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt

  • 1 tablespoon of butter

  • 1/2 cup of evaporated milk

Instructions:

Making the dumplings:

In a bowl, add 1 cup of self-rising flour and 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt. Stir well. Then, using a pastry cutter or fork, cut 1 tablespoon of butter in the flour mixture.


Next, add 1/2 cup of evaporated milk to the flour mixture and mix until a dough forms, but do not overmix. Overmixing the dough will make your dumplings tough.


When preparing this dish, I prefer to shape golf ball-sized portions of the dough by rolling them in the palm of my hand. However, feel free to get creative and shape the dough into strips, squares, or any other desired shape. For a simpler approach, you can also spoon dollops of the dough directly into the boiling water or broth.



Place the dumplings into a large pot of boiling water or broth. Cover the pot with a lid and allow the dumplings to simmer for 15 minutes without lifting the lid.


After simmering, carefully drain the water or broth from the dumplings and set them aside.



Making the sausage gravy:

Meanwhile, cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until it is browned and cooked through. Make sure to break it up into small pieces as it cooks for about 12 minutes.


Sprinkle 1/4 cup of self-rising flour over the cooked sausage in the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for about a minute to get rid of the raw flour taste.


Slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly. Continue to cook and stir until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. This usually takes about 5 to 10 minutes.


Season the gravy with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir well.



Once the gravy is done, add the cooked dumplings and gently stir them.


Serve and enjoy!

American pokeweed

American pokeweed  American pokeweed is a perennial, and it's commonly known as a survivalist plant. The plant is often referred to as poke salad, poke sallet, pokeweed, poke, among a few others. During the first days of spring, purplish shoots of pokeweed emerge from the soil. The plant will often pop up as a volunteer, and depending on the location, pokeweed can grow anywhere from 6 feet to 20 feet tall. The stalks and stems of pokeweed are an attractive purplish plum color. The leaves are a beautiful green color, and they can grow as big as 14 inches long by 7 to 8 inches wide. The plant's leaves will be tapered at each end. By summer, pokeweed begins producing long clusters of green and white flowers. The flowers turn into green berries that then transition from a light pink to a dark plum color. Pokeweed grows flowers and berries often at the same time and will continue to grow until the first frost. I have never pulled a pokeweed plant up from its roots, but I...

Vegetables that contain protein

Vegetables that contain protein If food prices have you scrambling down the aisles of the grocery store trying to find something that's more affordable than meat but still has protein, know that you're not alone! Back in the days when my grandparents went through the Great Depression, it was really tough times, but they survived through the hardships by growing their own food. There are a lot of veggies that actually do contain protein, and they're packed full of additional nutrients that our bodies all need. Vegetables highest in protein: Vegetables high in protein include artichokes, asparagus, beans, bean sprouts, and beans in general: broccoli, Brussel sprouts, chickpeas, green peas, kale, mushrooms, mustard greens, spinach, sweet corn, and turnip greens. For a few examples: Black beans contain 15 grams of protein in just a 1-cup serving. In fact, a 1/2 cup of cooked beans provides close to 7 grams of protein, which is the same as eating one ounce of meat. As for collar...
