Ingredients
- 1 pound Pork sausage
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Optional: Red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the pork sausage to the pan.
Step 2
Break the sausage up into small chunks as it cooks using a wooden spoon or spatula, and cook it until it’s browned and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium and sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the cooked sausage. Stir well to coat the sausage evenly with the flour, letting it cook for 1-2 minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste.
Step 4
Gradually pour in the milk while continuously stirring. Scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet for added flavor.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency, about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Season the gravy with salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes to taste. Stir well to combine.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the sausage gravy immediately over warm biscuits.
