Sausage gravy is a savory, creamy sauce traditionally found in Southern U.S. cuisine, often served over biscuits for a hearty breakfast staple. It is typically made from pan-fried pork sausage, all-purpose flour, milk, and seasonings like black pepper. The base of the gravy is formed by cooking sausage until browned, then utilizing the rendered fat to create a roux before gradually adding milk to achieve the desired consistency. While sausage gravy provides protein from the sausage and calcium from the milk, it is often high in saturated fat and sodium, which may be a concern for heart health and overall nutrition. Variations can include leaner sausage options or plant-based alternatives to balance its rich and indulgent properties. Though not inherently a low-calorie option, it is cherished for its comfort food appeal and satisfying flavor, symbolizing homestyle Southern cooking.
