Big John's Biscuits & Gravy

Watch out Paula Deen. . .

 Big John has 4 or 5 recipes that he makes, that's all the cooking that he does, but he does it well. Biscuits & Gravy is one of his specialties...










 1. Start by browning 1 pound of hot ground pork sausage, I used Jimmy Dean here. The cheaper the sausage the more juice it gives off for the gravy but don't go too cheap!











2. Put about 3/4 cup of flour into a tupperware container (make sure it has a lid too.)













3. Add milk to the flour, enough so you can still shake the tupperware
 once it has a lid on it. Shaking the the milk and flour together will insure a "lump free" mixture (a trick I learned from Jeanette.)














4. Add the milk-flour mixture to the pan with the cooked sausage.











5. Add black pepper, red pepper flakes, and Sriracha sauce for a kick. Stir.










6. Add milk as necessary for desired consistency. Stir frequently.











7. Serve over biscuits. I like to use frozen Pillsbury Grand butter milk biscuits.  They come frozen in a bag making it easy to grab and cook the number of biscuits you want for a meal.











Do you ever make biscuits? Gravy? Whats your secret?
