Sausage Gravy Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 pound of breakfast sausage. Break the sausage apart with a spatula and cook until it is fully browned, with no pink remaining. Leave the drippings in the pan for flavor.
- Add Flour: Sprinkle 1/3 cup all purpose flour evenly over the cooked sausage in the skillet. Stir continuously for 1 to 2 minutes so the flour absorbs the drippings and forms a thick paste, which will help thicken the gravy.
- Pour in Milk: Slowly pour 3 cups of whole milk into the skillet while stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming in the gravy.
- Simmer and Thicken: Continue cooking and stirring the mixture for 5 to 7 minutes, allowing the gravy to thicken gradually to your desired consistency.
- Season the Gravy: Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve hot over warm biscuits for a traditional southern breakfast.
Notes
- Do not drain the sausage drippings; they add flavor and help thicken the gravy.
- Stir constantly when adding milk to prevent lumps.
- If gravy becomes too thick, you can thin it with a little extra milk.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
- Use fresh biscuits for an ideal pairing.
