Creamy Sausage Gravy

🥣 Creamy Sausage Gravy

Ingredients

• 1 lb breakfast sausage (pork sausage works best)

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

• 2–3 cups whole milk (adjust for thickness)

• 1/2 tsp black pepper (or to taste)

• 1/2 tsp salt (optional, depending on sausage)

• Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of garlic powder

Instructions

1. Brown the sausage
   In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until fully browned. Break it up into small crumbles as it cooks.
   Do not drain the grease (unless there’s an excessive amount — leave about 2–3 tablespoons).

2. Add flour
   Sprinkle the flour over the sausage. Stir well and cook for 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

3. Add milk slowly
   Gradually pour in 2 cups of milk while stirring constantly. The mixture will begin to thicken.

4. Simmer & adjust
   Let it simmer for 5–10 minutes, stirring frequently, until thick and creamy.
   Add more milk if it gets too thick.

5. Season
   Add black pepper and adjust salt to taste.
