Ingredients
- 8 oz Jimmy Dean sausage (original or your preferred flavor)
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.25 tsp Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the Jimmy Dean sausage until fully browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside.
Step 2
In the same skillet or a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Whisk in the flour to create a roux and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the roux is golden and slightly bubbly.
Step 4
Gradually add the whole milk to the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until it thickens to a sauce-like consistency.
Step 5
Stir in the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Continue to stir until the cheese has fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 2 more minutes to blend the flavors.
Step 7
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Optionally, sprinkle a small pinch of paprika over the sauce for additional flavor and color.
Step 8
Serve the warm Jimmy Dean sauce over freshly made omelets, or use it as a dip for hash browns or biscuits. Enjoy!
