Ingredients
- 1 pound pork breakfast 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.
Step 2
Add the pork breakfast sausage to the skillet and cook, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, until fully browned and no pink remains, about 7-8 minutes.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour evenly over the cooked sausage.
Step 4
Stir the flour into the sausage so it absorbs the grease, cooking for about 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Step 5
Gradually pour in the whole milk, about 1 cup at a time, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
Step 6
Continue stirring as the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes. If the gravy becomes too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
Step 7
Season the gravy with salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes for a bit of heat. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Step 8
Remove from heat and serve hot over freshly baked biscuits or toast. Enjoy!
