Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the breakfast sausage. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Flour

    Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the cooked sausage. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

  3. 3

    Add Milk

    Gradually pour in the whole milk while continuously stirring to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Finishing Touches

  1. 4

    Season the Gravy

    Once the gravy begins to thicken, add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to incorporate the seasonings.

  2. 5

    Add Optional Herbs

    If using, stir in the chopped fresh sage and parsley for added flavor.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Once the gravy reaches your desired thickness, remove from heat and serve over biscuits or toast.
