Ingredients
1 pound breakfast sausage
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper (or to taste)
Instructions
1. Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon until fully browned and no pink remains, about 8 to 10 minutes.
2. Sprinkle flour evenly over the cooked sausage. Stir well and cook for 1 to 2 minutes to eliminate raw flour taste.
3. Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue stirring as the gravy begins to thicken, about 5 minutes.
4. Season with salt and black pepper. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired thickness.
5. Serve hot over freshly baked biscuits and enjoy immediately.
Notes
This gravy thickens as it cools, so stir in a splash of milk when reheating.
For added richness, replace 1/2 cup of the milk with heavy cream.
Use spicy sausage for a kick or sage sausage for a more herbal twist.
