Ingredients
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cups whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground breakfast sausage.
Step 2
Cook the sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula, until completely browned and crumbled, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium-low and sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the cooked sausage. Stir to coat the sausage evenly, ensuring no lumps of flour remain.
Step 4
Gradually pour the milk into the skillet, stirring constantly to combine the flour, sausage, and milk into a smooth mixture.
Step 5
Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Continue stirring as the gravy thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 6
Season the gravy with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 7
Once the gravy has reached your desired consistency, remove from heat and serve immediately over warm biscuits or your choice of accompaniment.
