Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork sausage
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Optional red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground pork sausage to the pan and cook, breaking it up with a spoon or spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 2
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour evenly over the cooked sausage and stir to coat the sausage in the flour. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Step 3
Gradually pour the milk into the skillet, a little at a time, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 4
Season the gravy with salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes if you like a bit of spice. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Step 5
Once the gravy reaches your desired thickness, remove it from the heat. If it becomes too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it out and stir again.
Step 6
Serve the sausage gravy hot over freshly baked biscuits. Enjoy!
