Description
Rich, creamy, and full of savory flavor, this classic Sausage Gravy is perfect for spooning over fluffy biscuits or toast for a comforting Southern-style breakfast!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 lb ground breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups whole milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.
- Sprinkle flour over the cooked sausage and stir until the sausage is evenly coated.
- Cook the flour and sausage mixture for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly to cook out the raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency (about 5–7 minutes).
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve hot over biscuits, toast, or your favorite breakfast items.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of crushed red pepper or a dash of hot sauce.
- If the gravy becomes too thick, thin it with a little more milk until you reach the desired consistency.
- Use spicy or maple-flavored sausage for a twist on the classic recipe.
