Cooking Instructions
Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Make the Roux
Once the sausage is cooked, reduce the heat to low. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the sausage and stir well to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste, stirring constantly.
Add Milk and Seasonings
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Thicken the Gravy
Increase the heat to medium and cook the gravy, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency, about 5-10 minutes. If the gravy becomes too thick, you can add more milk to reach your preferred consistency.
Serve
Once the gravy is thick and creamy, remove it from the heat. Serve hot over biscuits, toast, or any other breakfast items you desire.
