Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
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.
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.
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.
Slowly pour in the milk, a little at a time, while whisking continuously to ensure there are no lumps.
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.
Season the gravy with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes, if using. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Return the cooked sausage to the gravy, and stir until the sausage is evenly coated and warmed through.
Serve immediately over freshly baked biscuits, toast, or any bread of your choice. Enjoy!
