Ingredients
- 1 pound Breakfast sausage
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet or frying pan, crumble the sausage and cook over medium heat until it is browned and cooked through. Break up any large chunks with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
Step 2
Once the sausage is fully cooked, remove it from the skillet using a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
Step 3
Sprinkle the flour into the skillet with the sausage fat, and whisk it constantly for about 1 to 2 minutes, until the flour turns golden and forms a roux.
Step 4
Slowly pour in the milk, a little at a time, while whisking continuously to ensure there are no lumps.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer until the gravy thickens, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Season the gravy with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes, if using. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Step 7
Return the cooked sausage to the gravy, and stir until the sausage is evenly coated and warmed through.
Step 8
Serve immediately over freshly baked biscuits, toast, or any bread of your choice. Enjoy!
