Sausage Gravy Recipe
Description
Begin by browning ground breakfast sausage in a skillet, breaking it up as it cooks, retaining the flavorful rendered fat. After reducing the heat, melt butter in the pan and stir in flour to create a roux coating the sausage. Slowly add whole milk while stirring continuously, allowing the mixture to simmer gently until it thickens into a creamy gravy. The flour and sausage bits can stick, so scraping the pan bottom ensures even cooking.
The finished gravy has a rich, creamy texture with well-seasoned sausage pieces dispersed throughout. It is traditionally served warm poured over flaky biscuits, complementing the savory flavors with a soft, creamy sauce that enhances the biscuit's crumb.
Leftover gravy stores well in airtight containers and can last up to a week refrigerated, providing ease for preparing breakfast or brunch in advance.
Ingredients
- 1 Pound breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 2 1/2 cup milk whole
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Brown the sausage in a large skillet with deep sides over medium high heat. Break up the sausage as it cooks. Do not drain off the excess grease.
- Turn the heat down to medium-low. Add the butter to the pan and melt the butter.
- Add the flour to the pan and stir to coat the sausage with the flour and cook for approximately 1 minute.
- Slowly stir in the milk and continue to cook on a low simmer for 3-5 minutes until the gravy thickens.
- Make sure to scrape down the bottom and sides of the pan to make sure that the flour and sausage does not stick to the pan.
- Then season the mixture with salt and pepper.
- Serve warm over your favorite biscuits and enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
