Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring Spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb BREAKFAST SAUSAGE
  • 1/3 cup ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
  • 4 cups WHOLE MILK
  • 1/2 tsp SALT
  • 1 tsp BLACK PEPPER

Instructions
 

Step 1:

  • Place your skillet on the stove over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage to the hot pan. Break the meat into very small crumbles now.

Step 2:

  • Cook the sausage until it is no longer pink. This should take about five to seven minutes. Do not drain the fat from the pan.

Step 3:

  • Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage crumbles. Stir the meat and flour together very well. Let the flour cook for one full minute.

Step 4:

  • Pour the whole milk into the skillet slowly. Keep stirring the mixture while you pour the milk. This helps to keep the gravy very smooth.

Step 5:

  • Continue to cook the gravy over medium heat. Stir it constantly so it does not burn. The liquid will start to thicken up soon.

Step 6:

  • Add the salt and black pepper to the pan. Taste the gravy to check the spice level. Turn off the heat once it is thick.

Notes

  • Use whole milk for the most creamy results ever.
  • Do not drain the grease from the cooked meat.
  • The grease helps the flour turn into a roux.
  • Cook the flour for a minute to remove raw taste.
  • Whisk very fast to get rid of any lumps.
  • Add more milk if the gravy gets too thick.
  • Use a cast iron skillet for even heat distribution.
  • Hot sauce adds a nice kick to the gravy.
