Sausage Gravy
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Biscuits
- 6–8 buttermilk biscuits (store-bought or homemade)
- Brown the Sausage: Place ground breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned and fully cooked through, stirring occasionally to prevent clumps.
- Create the Roux: Once the sausage is cooked, sprinkle the all-purpose flour evenly over the meat. Stir continuously for about 2 minutes, allowing the flour to absorb the fat and cook out the raw taste, forming a flavorful roux.
- Add the Milk Slowly: Gradually pour in whole milk while constantly whisking. This prevents lumps and helps the gravy thicken smoothly. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency—usually about 5 minutes.
- Season the Gravy: Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust cautiously as the sausage already brings some saltiness.
- Prepare the Biscuits: While the gravy simmers, warm your buttermilk biscuits according to package instructions or bake from scratch if making your own. Biscuits should be fluffy and warm for the best result.
- Serve and Enjoy: Split the biscuits in half and generously spoon the sausage gravy over the top. Serve immediately for the perfect combination of fluffy bread and creamy gravy.
Notes
- Use freshly ground breakfast sausage for best flavor and texture.
- Don’t rush cooking the roux to remove raw flour taste and ensure smooth gravy.
- Keep heat at medium to prevent burning or clumping.
- Whisk constantly to avoid lumps in the gravy.
- Adjust milk amount for preferred gravy thickness.
