A Simple Sausage Gravy Recipe with Big Southern Flavor
There’s something unmistakably Southern about a skillet of sausage gravy simmering on the stove. It’s creamy and thick with just enough pepper to make it interesting and the crumbled sausage gives it so much flavor. If you’ve never made it from scratch, you’re about to see why this simple dish is such a Southern tradition.
Ingredients
- 4 ounces Breakfast sausage
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 3 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook the sausage on high heat until crumbly and brown.
- Reduce the heat to medium, and add butter to the skillet, once melted add the flour and whisk together, cooking for about 3 minutes.
- Gradually add warmed milk and salt and let it simmer until it is thickened. About 5-8 minutes.
- Sprinkle with pepper and serve over biscuits.
Barbara's Notes + Tips
- The gravy will get very thick as it cools, just add warm milk to thin it down to the consistency you want.
- You can easily double, or triple. Most sausage comes in 1 lb packages so you'll have enough to double the recipe if you're feeding a crowd.
