Ingredients

Scale

Sausage Gravy

  • 1 pound ground breakfast sausage (preferably pork)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 cups whole milk
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Butter (optional, for richness)

Biscuits

  • 6 buttermilk biscuits (store-bought or homemade)
  • Butter (optional, for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Sausage: Heat a large skillet over medium heat, then add the ground breakfast sausage. Cook while breaking it apart with a wooden spoon until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. This step builds the deep sausage flavor that’s the base of your gravy.
  2. Create the Roux: Once the sausage is browned, sprinkle the all-purpose flour evenly over it. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flour to cook out its raw taste and begin thickening the mixture. This forms the roux, crucial for a creamy gravy texture.
  3. Add Milk Slowly: Gradually pour in the whole milk while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble gently, usually around 5 minutes. This transforms your roux into rich, velvety gravy.
  4. Season Generously: Season the gravy with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Don’t shy away from seasoning well, as this step brings out the full, savory depth of the sausage gravy.
  5. Prepare the Biscuits: If using store-bought biscuits, bake or warm them according to package instructions. For homemade biscuits, ensure they are golden and flaky for the best texture. Split the biscuits and place them on serving plates.
  6. Pour and Serve: Ladle the warm sausage gravy generously over the warm biscuits. Serve immediately to enjoy the comforting contrast of flaky biscuit with creamy, meaty gravy.

Notes

  • Use fresh sausage for the best flavor and texture.
  • Stir the gravy continuously when adding milk to prevent lumps and achieve smoothness.
  • Adjust thickness by adding more milk if needed or simmering longer to thicken.
  • Season the gravy after it thickens to avoid over-salting.
  • Brush baked biscuits with melted butter for extra richness.
