Southern Sausage Gravy

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes

Equipment

  • Medium Skillet (8 inches)

Ingredients  

  • ½ pound pork breakfast sausage
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • cups whole milk
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions 

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, crumble and cook the sausage until well browned. Drain the sausage and set aside, reserving 1 tablespoon of drippings in the pan.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Sprinkle the flour into the reserved drippings and stir to combine. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes until the raw flour smell is gone.
  • Gradually add the milk a little at a time, stirring well after each addition. Continue stirring until all the milk is incorporated and the gravy thickens.
  • Stir the cooked sausage back into the gravy. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the sausage is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot over warm buttermilk biscuits
