Homestyle Sausage Gravy

Introduction

Homestyle Sausage Gravy is the definition of comfort food—rich, creamy, and packed with savory flavor.
This Southern classic transforms simple pantry ingredients into a hearty dish that feels warm and
nostalgic. Perfect for breakfast or brunch, it’s best served generously over fluffy biscuits for a
meal that satisfies every time.

Ingredients

• 1 pound breakfast sausage (pork sausage recommended)
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 2½–3 cups whole milk
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked,
   breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Do not drain the grease.
2. Sprinkle the flour evenly over the sausage. Stir well to coat and cook for 1–2 minutes
   to remove the raw flour taste.
3. Slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
4. Continue cooking and stirring for 5–7 minutes, until the gravy thickens.
5. Season with salt and plenty of black pepper to taste.
6. Reduce heat to low and simmer for another 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally,
   until smooth and creamy.

Tips

• Use whole milk for the creamiest and richest gravy.

Correction

• If the gravy tastes floury, simmer it a little longer to fully cook the flour.
