Sausage Gravy is a classic Southern-style breakfast dish made with sausage, flour, milk, and seasonings. It’s creamy, savory, and most commonly served over warm biscuits.
Ingredients
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 2–3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ½–1 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: pinch of garlic powder or onion powder
Instructions
- Cook the sausage
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it into crumbles until browned.
- Add the flour
- Sprinkle flour over the cooked sausage and stir well.
- Cook for about 1–2 minutes so the flour absorbs the fat.
- Pour in the milk
- Slowly add milk while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
- Simmer and thicken
- Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring often, until the gravy thickens.
- Season
- Add salt and plenty of black pepper to taste.
Serve
- Spoon the gravy over warm biscuits, toast, or even fried potatoes.
✅ Tip: If the gravy gets too thick, add a little more milk. If it’s too thin, simmer a bit longer.
