Serving
Ingredients
- 1 package quality flavored or seasoned sausage
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
- Biscuits of your choice for serving
Equipment
- Large skillet
- Slotted spoon
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Whisk
- Measuring spoons
- Measuring cups
Instructions
- Step 1: Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Once fully cooked, transfer the sausage to a bowl using a slotted spoon.
- Step 2: In the same skillet, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook, whisking constantly, until a smooth paste forms.
- Step 3: Gradually add the milk, continuing to whisk to prevent lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
- Step 4: Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Stir in the salt and black pepper, mixing thoroughly. Allow the gravy to simmer gently for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Step 5: Remove from heat and serve hot over your preferred biscuits.
Notes
Store leftover sausage gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk if needed to restore creaminess. For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container.
