Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2½ cups whole milk
- ½ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper optional
- Biscuits for serving
Instructions
Cook the Sausage
- Place sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until browned and fully cooked. Break it into small pieces while cooking evenly.
Keep the Fat
- Do not drain the fat. It adds rich flavor and helps create the base for the creamy gravy.
Add the Flour
- Sprinkle flour over the sausage. Stir well and cook for 2 minutes to remove raw flour taste and thicken mixture.
Add the Milk
- Slowly pour in milk while whisking continuously. This prevents lumps and creates a smooth and creamy consistency.
Cook Until Thick
- Let gravy cook over medium heat. Stir often until it becomes thick and creamy. This takes about 5–7 minutes.
Add Seasoning
- Add salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper if desired. Stir well and taste to adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve Hot
- Serve the sausage gravy immediately over warm biscuits. Enjoy the rich, creamy, and comforting flavor.
Notes
- Use spicy sausage for extra heat
- Add garlic powder for more flavor
- Use low-fat milk for a lighter version
- Stir constantly to avoid lumps
- Add butter for extra richness
- Use homemade biscuits for best taste
- Adjust seasoning to your preference
