Simple Sausage Gravy
Description
This recipe starts by cooking ground pork sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into small pieces and browning until fully cooked. The rendered fat and browned sausage form the base flavor of the gravy.
Flour is stirred into the cooked sausage until fully absorbed, creating a roux that thickens the sauce. Milk is added gradually while stirring to prevent lumps, then the mixture is brought to a boil and simmered until thickened to a creamy consistency.
Salt and freshly ground black pepper are added to taste, balancing the savory pork with a mild seasoning. The sausage pieces remain tender within the smooth gravy.
This gravy is traditionally served hot over biscuits or toast, making it a popular comfort breakfast or brunch option.
