Ingredients
- 1 pound of breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 2 to 3 cups of milk (whole milk for creamier gravy)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Biscuits, for serving
Instructions
- In a large skillet, crumble and cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until it’s browned and cooked through. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Once the sausage is fully cooked, sprinkle the flour over the sausage in the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes. This step will help create a roux, which thickens the gravy.
- Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to eliminate any lumps. The mixture will start to thicken as it heats up. Keep stirring and bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Once the gravy reaches your desired thickness, season it with salt and pepper to taste. Remember, the key is to taste and adjust as necessary.
- Serve the creamy sausage gravy hot over freshly baked biscuits. You can either split the biscuits open and ladle the gravy on top or serve the gravy on the side for dipping.
