1
Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble the breakfast sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to break up the sausage.
2
Make the Roux
Once the sausage is cooked, sprinkle the flour over the sausage in the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes until the flour is lightly browned.
3
Add the Milk
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring to scrape any bits from the bottom of the skillet. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 5 minutes.
4
Season the Gravy
Add black pepper and salt to taste. If desired, add red pepper flakes and garlic powder for extra flavor. Stir to combine.
5
Simmer
Reduce the heat to low and let the gravy simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until it reaches your desired thickness.
