Ingredients  

  • 15 oz. pork breakfast sausage, casings removed
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 cups whole milk 
  • Homemade or store-bought biscuits, for serving

Instructions 

  • Add the sausage to a large skillet set over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add the sausage and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the flour atop the sausage and stir to combine. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
  • While stirring, slowly stream in the milk. Bring the gravy to a boil then reduce it to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. 
  • Taste and season the gravy with salt and black pepper. 
  • Spoon the sausage gravy over halved biscuits and serve. 

Notes

  • My favorite way to serve sausage gravy is spooned over homemade buttermilk biscuits. It's also delicious over mashed potatoes, hash browns, grits, toast, French fries, fried chicken and cornbread.
  • Store leftover sausage gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of milk to restore its creamy consistency.
