Sausage Gravy Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Brown the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it is fully browned and no longer pink, breaking it apart as it cooks to create crumbled texture.
- Add Flour: Stir the all-purpose flour into the cooked sausage and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste and create a roux base.
- Incorporate Milk: Gradually pour in the milk while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Continue stirring and cooking until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
- Season Gravy: Add salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed for a balanced savory flavor.
- Serve Warm: Spoon the sausage gravy generously over warm biscuits and serve immediately for a comforting and hearty meal.
Notes
- Use whole milk for creamier texture, but 2% milk works as well.
- Leftover gravy can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and gently reheated.
- Adjust thickness by adding more milk if gravy becomes too thick during cooking.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of garlic powder during seasoning.
- Serve with freshly baked buttermilk biscuits for the best traditional experience.
