Steve Evans Sausage Gravy

Brown 1lb. Steve Evans Sausage in a big skillet over medium heat.

As the sausage is just turning brown, stir in exactly 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, and coat all the meat.

As soon as the Sausage is coated, pour in one can of evaporated milk and 1 1/2 cans of water.

Now turn the temp to medium-high, or until the gravy starts to bubble slightly, and stir until gravy has the desired thickness, be careful to stir continuously as you may scorch your gravy. The milk proteins will scorch without continuous stirring.

When your gravy has thickened, you may need to add a little salt and pepper, the flour and milk addition dilute these spices and they may need to be added back.

Just before serving, squeeze the juice from 1/2 a fresh lemon to give your gravy a little added zest.

If you get your gravy too thick, just add a little regular milk to get it back to your desired thickness.

Steve Evans Sausage Pot Pie

  • 4 cups broth
  • 12 white pearl onions peeled
  • 1 ½ cups diced Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1 cup thickly sliced carrots
  • ½ cup frozen peas
  • 14 oz. Steve Evans Country Sausage
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cream
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 sheets puff pastry dough defrosted
  • Egg white, lightly beaten

Instructions

Follow the package directions for defrosting the puff pastry.
While the pastry defrosts, heat the broth in a large pot over medium heat. Once the broth is hot, add pearl onions, and cook 2 minutes. Add potatoes, carrots, and cooked/crumbled sausage, and cook for 10 minutes. Add peas, and remove from heat.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the veggies and sausage to ovenproof soup ramekins (bowls). Reserve the broth in the stock pot.

In a medium pan, melt butter, and add the flour. Cook 3 minutes, or until the flour mixture starts to brown. Slowly whisk in broth, and cook until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Add cream, and cook an additional minute, or until heated through. Taste for seasoning, adding salt and pepper to taste. Pour sauce over the veggies in the soup ramekins.
Roll out the pasty, cut to fit over each bowl, and crimp edges to the bowl. Cut a vent in the center with a sharp knife. Brush the puff pastry with the beaten egg white. Place the bowls on a large cookie sheet to catch any drips that might spill over during baking.
If you have additional puff pastry, cut it into strips, and bake it on a separate cookie sheet with the pot pies to make puff pastry straws.

Bake pot pies in 425° F for 10 minutes. Without taking the pot pies out of the oven, lower the heat to 350° F and bake 20-25 minutes. Serve hot.
