🥄 **Sausage gravy
Sausage gravy is a rich, creamy Southern-style gravy made with pork sausage and milk, typically served over freshly baked biscuits for a hearty breakfast or brunch. It’s savory, comforting, and classic.
Ingredients (4 servings)
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (pork, spicy or mild)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2–3 cups milk (adjust for desired thickness)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: pinch of cayenne or crushed red pepper for heat
👩‍🍳 Instructions
- Cook sausage
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until fully browned, breaking it into small crumbles.
- Make the roux
- Sprinkle flour over cooked sausage. Stir and cook 1–2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
- Add milk
- Gradually pour in milk while stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
- Simmer 5–10 minutes until gravy thickens.
- Season
- Add salt, pepper, and optional cayenne. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Serve
- Spoon hot sausage gravy over freshly baked biscuits.
🍴 Tips & Variations
- Creamier gravy: Use half-and-half or whole milk.
- Extra flavor: Add a pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika.
- Make-ahead: Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of milk if needed.
- Spicy twist: Use a spicy sausage or add hot sauce for a kick.
