1
Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the breakfast sausage. Break it apart with a spatula as it cooks, and brown it evenly until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

2
Add Butter and Flour
Once the sausage is browned, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter to the skillet. Allow it to melt, then sprinkle the flour over the sausage. Stir continuously for about 1-2 minutes to cook the flour slightly.
3
Pour in the Milk
Gradually add the whole milk to the skillet while stirring continuously. Make sure to incorporate it well to prevent lumps. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
4
Season the Gravy
Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the gravy. Stir to combine and adjust seasonings to taste. If the gravy is too thick, you can add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.

5
Serve Hot
Once the gravy is thick and seasoned, remove it from heat. Serve hot over biscuits, toast, or your favorite breakfast items.
