Ingredients

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 3 cups milk , divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • unsalted butter , if needed

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large frying pan or skillet, cook the ground sausage over medium heat, breaking apart into crumbles as it cooks. Try to get a nice brown on the meat.
  2. When cooked, approximately 6-7 minutes, remove the meat using a slotted spoon and leaving the grease in the pan. Remove it to a paper towel lined plate.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the flour to make a paste. If there isn't much fat, add 1-2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Continue to stir until it makes a paste and turns a light brown.
  4. Pour in 1/4 cup of the milk, whisking or stirring well using the back of a spoon to break apart the flour clumps. Add the remaining milk in 3 stages, whisking after each to prevent lumps.
  5. Add the reserved sausage back to the pan, tossing to combine. Taste the gravy to determine how much seasoned salt is necessary and then add slowly, tasting along to way to determine the correct amount. Follow the same guidelines with the black pepper.
  6. Spoon the sausage gravy over a dish of your choice.
