Gravy Base
Method
Preparing the Gravy
- 1
Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to break it apart as it cooks.
- 2
Make the Roux
Once the sausage is cooked, sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the sausage. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flour to absorb the fat and create a roux.
- 3
Add Milk
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
- 4
Season the Gravy
Add salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and onion powder to the gravy. Stir well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
