Ingredients
1 pound breakfast sausage (choose your favorite brand for best flavor)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for that perfect thickness)
2 cups whole milk (to create a creamy texture)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste for a little kick)
1/4 teaspoon salt (to enhance the flavors)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for added depth)
1/4 teaspoon onion powder (optional, for extra flavor)
Biscuits (homemade or store-bought, for serving)
Instructions:
- Cook the Sausage:
- Time: 5-7 minutes.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the breakfast sausage. Use a spatula to break it into small pieces as it cooks.
- Cook until the sausage is browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes, releasing all those delicious flavors.
- Incorporate the Flour:
- Time: 1 minute.
- Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage. Stir well to coat the sausage evenly.
- Cook for about 1 minute to eliminate any raw flour taste, ensuring a rich flavor base for your gravy.
- Add the Milk:
- Time: 5 minutes.
- Gradually pour in the whole milk while continuously stirring to prevent lumps.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently. The gravy will thicken beautifully in about 5 minutes.
- Season to Perfection:
- Once the gravy reaches your desired consistency, season it with black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder (if using). Adjust the seasoning to suit your palate.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Time: Immediate.
- Ladle the warm sausage gravy generously over freshly baked biscuits for a delightful breakfast experience.
Cooking Tips:
- For a thinner gravy, simply add more milk until you reach your preferred consistency.
