How to Make Paula Deen's Sausage Gravy

  1. Dice bacon and chop onion and mince garlic. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving bacon grease in the skillet.
  2. Add sausage to the skillet with the bacon grease and cook over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, for 8-10 minutes, or until browned and crumbly.
  3. Add onion and garlic to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.
  4. Stir in flour and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
  5. Gradually whisk in half-and-half, stirring constantly until smooth and thickened.
  6. Stir in reserved bacon, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until gravy has reached desired consistency.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted. Serve immediately over biscuits, grits, or your favorite breakfast dish.
