Easy Sausage Gravy Recipe
Description
The Easy Sausage Gravy Recipe consists of ground pork breakfast sausage cooked until browned and crumbly, combined with all-purpose flour and dried thyme to create a baseline roux. Milk is gradually added and simmered, thickening the mixture into a creamy smooth gravy. Garlic powder, salt, and pepper provide balanced seasoning without overpowering the sausage's natural flavor. The fat rendered from the sausage replaces butter or oil typically used in gravy, making this dish straightforward to prepare.
The result is a warm, hearty gravy with tender bits of sausage throughout, offering a creamy but textured sauce with herbal undertones of thyme. The gravy coats biscuits or toast, imparting both meatiness and richness in every bite, ideal for a comforting morning meal.
For serving, ladle the gravy over freshly baked biscuits or toasted bread. Adjust thickness by adding extra milk if needed for smoother consistency. The dish can be complemented with a simple side of eggs for a classic hearty breakfast.
To make gluten-free gravy, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking mix.Serve over warm biscuits, English muffins, or toast as preferred.

- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

- Pour in 3 cups of milk. Stir and simmer to thicken the gravy. Once it is very thick and smooth, turn off the heat. If the gravy gets too thick, add another ½ cup of milk.
- Serve over warm homemade biscuits, English muffins, or toast.
