An old-fashioned homemade sausage gravy recipe, this one is flavorful and foolproof. Serve over my award-winning (and easy!) biscuit recipe.Recipe includes a how-to video!
Ingredients
- 1 lbpork breakfast sausage (i recommend using sage flavored)
- ¼ cupall-purpose (plain) flour
- 2 ½ cupswhole milk
- ⅛ teaspooncrushed red pepper (optional)
- salt and freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)
Directions
- 1
Place sausage in a skillet over medium/high heat.
- 2
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.
- 3
Sprinkle flour evenly over the sausage crumbles. Stir frequently until flour is absorbed (about 1 minute).
- 4
Slowly drizzle the milk into your skillet, stirring as you pour. Add crushed red pepper, if using.
- 5
Continue to cook, stirring frequently until mixture is thickened and desired consistency is reached.
- 6
Add salt and pepper to taste and serve warm over homemade biscuits!
