1
Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 lb of breakfast sausage. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula until it’s browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, remove the sausage from the skillet, leaving the drippings in the pan.

2
Create the Roux
In the same skillet with the sausage drippings, add 4 tablespoons of butter. Allow it to melt over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in 1 cup of all-purpose flour until smooth, cooking for about 2-3 minutes to form a roux. Be careful not to let it brown.
3
Add Broth and Milk
Gradually whisk in 2 cups of chicken broth and then 1 cup of milk. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
4
Season the Gravy
Once the gravy has thickened, season it with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir well to combine.
5
Combine with Sausage
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir into the gravy. Allow it to cook together for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
