Sausage Gravy

Ingredients

• ▢ 1 pound bulk pork sausage
• ▢ 2 tablespoons butter
• ▢ ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
• ▢ 3 to 3 ½ cups milk
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon granulated garlic
• ▢ 1 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
• ▢ ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste

instructions

• Set a large skillet (cast iron works best) over medium heat. Add in the sausage and with a wooden spatula break up sausage into smaller pieces while stirring. Cook until brown and fully done (about 8 to 10 minutes).
• Place butter in skillet and stir until melted.
• Sprinkle flour, garlic, and pepper on top of the sausage and slowly stir until well coated and grease is full absorbed. Continue stirring and let the flour cook fully for about 2 minutes.
• While stirring, slowly pour in 3 cups of the milk. Continue to stir and simmer until gravy thickens (3 to 5 minutes). Add salt, if needed. If gravy is too thick, add the last ½ cup of milk.
• Serve over warm fresh biscuits, eggs or whatever you prefer!
  

TIPS***

• Seasonings: Be sure your sausage is seasoned. If not you may need to add salt, pepper and maybe a little sage. Taste as you make and adjust as needed.
• Don't drain the sausage drippings - The fat is where all the flavor is and you need it to make good sausage gravy.
• Keep flavors simple - This dish is packed full of flavor and isn't meant to be complicated. It's plain comfort food and just plain delicious. So you don't need to add in tons of extras!
