Ingredients

Scale

Sausage Gravy Ingredients

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage (ground pork or turkey)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 to 2 1/2 cups whole milk (warmed)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Biscuits

  • 8 buttery, flaky biscuits (homemade or store-bought)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Sausage: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until the sausage is nicely browned and fully cooked through, forming the savory base for the gravy.
  2. Make the Roux: Sprinkle all-purpose flour evenly over the browned sausage in the skillet. Stir continuously for 2 to 3 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste and create a nutty, golden roux that will thicken the gravy.
  3. Slowly Add Milk: Gradually pour the warmed milk into the skillet while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Continue cooking and stirring until the gravy thickens into a smooth, creamy sauce, which should take several minutes.
  4. Season and Simmer: Season the gravy with salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Let the gravy simmer gently for a few minutes to meld all the flavors together.
  5. Serve Over Hot Biscuits: Split warm, flaky biscuits and ladle generous portions of sausage gravy on top. The biscuits soak up the creamy gravy, creating a satisfying and comforting breakfast dish.

Notes

  • Don’t rush the roux; cooking the flour properly avoids a raw taste and ensures a smooth gravy.
  • Use freshly ground black pepper for a bright, sharp flavor complementing the rich sausage.
  • Warm your milk before adding to the roux to prevent clumping and create a smoother gravy.
  • Choose flaky, buttery biscuits (homemade or quality store-bought) for best gravy absorption.
  • If the gravy gets too thick, stir in extra warm milk a little at a time to achieve the desired consistency.
