Sausage Gravy
Sausage Gravy is a hearty, creamy topping made by cooking ground pork sausage and thickening the rendered fat with flour and milk. The mixture is seasoned with salt and black pepper and cooked to a rich, smooth consistency. This gravy is typically served over biscuits, hashbrowns, or eggs, adding a savory, peppery flavor and creamy texture to breakfast or brunch dishes.

Notes
- Use any brand of breakfast pork sausage; a standard roll is sufficient.
- Milk types such as 2%, skim, or whole milk can be used according to preference and availability.
- After adding the first half of the milk, continue stirring and cooking; it will seem thin at first but will thicken.
- Add more milk for a thinner gravy or reduce milk or cook longer for a thicker consistency.
