Ingredients for Sausage Gravy

Method

Directions for Sausage Gravy

  1. 1

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.

  2. 2

    Make the Roux

    In the same skillet, add butter to the sausage drippings. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture is golden brown.

  3. 3

    Add Milk and Seasoning

    Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Continue stirring until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Stir the cooked sausage back into the gravy and heat through. Serve hot over biscuits or toast.
