Classic Southern Sausage Gravy

Traditional dish · American

A rich and creamy classic Southern breakfast staple, perfect served over biscuits. This traditional recipe uses pork sausage and a simple roux for a comforting and hearty meal.

Ingredients

Servings4
  • Pork breakfast sausage1 lb
  • All-purpose flour1/4 cup
  • Whole milk2 cups
  • Salt1/2 tsp
  • Black pepper1/4 tsp

Steps

  1. 1

    Crumble the pork sausage into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Drain off most of the grease, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the skillet.

  2. 2

    Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and grease. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.

  3. 3

    Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly.

  4. 4

    Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot, traditionally over biscuits.
