Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground sausage. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Roux

    Once the sausage is cooked, lower the heat to medium-low. Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt. Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to combine, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is golden brown.

  3. 3

    Add Milk

    Gradually pour in the milk while continuously stirring to avoid lumps. Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Season the Gravy

    Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to the gravy. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally.
