1
Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble the breakfast sausage. Cook until browned and thoroughly cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
2
Make the Roux
Once the sausage is fully cooked, reduce the heat to low. Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt. Once melted, sprinkle the flour over the sausage. Stir constantly for about 2 minutes to cook the flour, forming a roux.
3
Add Milk
Gradually add the milk to the skillet, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Increase the heat back to medium and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly.
4
Season the Gravy
Once the mixture starts to thicken, add the black pepper and salt to taste. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring until the gravy reaches your desired thickness.
5
Serve
Remove from heat and serve the sausage gravy hot over biscuits, toast, or your favorite breakfast items.
