Sausage Gravy

This is my take on a Paula Deen Milk Gravy recipe, but I add sausage. It's so good. I bake Grands Biscuits from the pop-open tubes for biscuits and gravy. This makes enough for 2 or 3 people, I will double it for more.

1 package Jimmy Dean hot sausage, browned and drained
1/2 cup bacon grease (reserved from the last time you cooked bacon! Never throw that stuff out)
2 Tbsp Butter
1/2 cup flour
3 cups warmed milk
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Seasonings: ground thyme, cayenne pepper, ground rosemary, and Accent

Heat grease and butter and whisk in flour. Cook on medium heat until the raw flour smell and taste has cooked out, stirring constantly. It should be smooth and bubbly. Add milk slowly and stir it in, continue stirring until the gravy thickens. Add sausage and season with the seasonings...start with 1/4 tsp of each seasoning and add more to taste. I usually season with about 1/2 tsp of each spice listed. Serve over warm biscuits.
