Gravy Base

Method

Cooking the Gravy

  1. 1

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground sausage. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Roux

    Once the sausage is cooked, sprinkle the flour over the sausage. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the flour is lightly browned.

  3. 3

    Add Milk

    Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the mixture thickens, about 5-10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Season the Gravy

    Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes to the gravy. Stir to combine and adjust seasoning to taste.
