Homemade Sausage Gravy Recipe
Breakfast · Serves 6 · Prep 5 min · Cook 10 min · Total 15 min
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork breakfast sausage (I recommend using sage flavored)
- ¼ cup all-purpose (plain) flour
- 2 ½ cups whole milk
- ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
- To Taste salt and freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)
Steps
- Place sausage in a skillet over medium/high heat.
- Use a spatula or wooden spoon to break up and crumble sausage as it cooks, cooking until completely browned and no pink remains. I don't drain my skillet, you want to have at least a Tablespoon or up to 2 Tablespoons of grease, but if you have much more than this you may wish to drain your skillet.
- Sprinkle flour evenly over the sausage crumbles. Stir frequently until flour is absorbed (about 1 minute).
- Slowly drizzle the milk into your skillet, stirring as you pour. Add crushed red pepper, if using.
- Continue to cook, stirring frequently until mixture is thickened and desired consistency is reached.
- Add salt and pepper to taste and serve warm over homemade biscuits!
