Method
Cooking the Sausage
- 1
Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the breakfast sausage. Use a spatula to break it up into small pieces. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Making the Gravy

Add Flour and Seasoning
Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flour to absorb the fat and flavors.
- 3
Add Milk
Gradually pour in the whole milk while constantly stirring. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.

Season the Gravy
Add black pepper and salt to taste. If desired, add red pepper flakes for extra heat. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens, about 5-10 minutes.
