Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Jimmy Dean sausage (original or your preferred flavor)
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.25 tsp Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the Jimmy Dean sausage until fully browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside.
In the same skillet or a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Whisk in the flour to create a roux and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the roux is golden and slightly bubbly.
Gradually add the whole milk to the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until it thickens to a sauce-like consistency.
Stir in the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Continue to stir until the cheese has fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 2 more minutes to blend the flavors.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Optionally, sprinkle a small pinch of paprika over the sauce for additional flavor and color.
Serve the warm Jimmy Dean sauce over freshly made omelets, or use it as a dip for hash browns or biscuits. Enjoy!
