Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Breakfast sausage
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the breakfast sausage. Cook it thoroughly, breaking it into small crumbles as it browns, about 7-9 minutes.
Once the sausage is fully cooked, reduce the heat to low and add the unsalted butter to the pan. Stir until the butter has completely melted.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour evenly over the sausage and stir to coat. Cook the mixture for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the milk while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Increase the heat to medium and continue stirring as the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Season the gravy with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and, if desired, crushed red pepper flakes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Once the gravy has reached your desired consistency (it should be thick but pourable), remove from heat and serve immediately over freshly baked biscuits.
