Chef Micky’s Sausage Gravy Recipe

Cook the sausage

In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Make the roux

In the same skillet, add the butter. Once melted, sprinkle in the flour and whisk together to form a roux. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until lightly golden, stirring constantly.

Add milk

Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Combine sausage and seasonings

Add the cooked sausage back into the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes to taste. Stir well to combine.

Thicken the gravy

Continue to simmer on low heat for about 5-10 minutes until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.

Serve

Serve the sausage gravy hot over biscuits, toast, or your favorite breakfast dish.
