Ingredients

Scale

Sausage Gravy

  • 1 pound country sausage
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional spices: paprika, garlic powder, red pepper flakes or cayenne (for spice)

Biscuits

  • Biscuits (homemade or store-bought, as needed)
  • Optional: butter for homemade biscuits
  • Optional: fresh or dried herbs like rosemary, thyme, or chives for herbed biscuits

Instructions

  1. Brown the Sausage: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the country sausage and break it apart using a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 8 minutes. This step releases the flavorful fat needed for the gravy.
  2. Make the Roux: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour evenly over the cooked sausage. Stir well to coat the sausage and flour completely. Continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly to remove the raw flour taste and prevent burning.
  3. Add Milk and Simmer: Gradually pour in the whole milk while stirring consistently. Let the mixture simmer gently for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often to avoid lumps and to develop a creamy, smooth gravy.
  4. Season the Gravy: Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Customize by adding optional spices like paprika or garlic powder if desired.
  5. Prepare or Heat Biscuits: If using homemade biscuits, bake them fresh while preparing the gravy. For store-bought biscuits, heat according to package instructions until warm and tender.
  6. Serve Together: Split warm biscuits in half and generously ladle the sausage gravy over them. Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its comforting best.

Notes

  • Choose high-quality sausage with good seasoning to enhance the gravy’s flavor.
  • Add milk slowly to prevent lumps and ensure a creamy consistency.
  • Cook the flour with the sausage fat before adding milk to improve texture and flavor.
  • Adjust gravy thickness by adding more milk if too thick, or simmer longer if too thin.
  • Heat biscuits separately to keep them fluffy and avoid sogginess under the gravy.
