Southern Sawmill Gravy (Sausage Gravy)
Making sausage gravy is incredibly easy, just be sure to use a good quality breakfast sausage whose flavor you love!
Servings: 4 -5 people
Ingredients
- 1 lb uncooked breakfast sausage
- ¼ c unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2 c milk (more if you like your gravy thinner)
Instructions
- In a 9 inch skillet with high sides, brown the sausage over medium high heat, chopping it up as it browns.
- Once the sausage is cooked, reduce the heat to medium and mix in the flour until it is completely moistened.
- Slowly add the milk, stirring constantly. Once all the milk as been added, continue stirring the gravy as it begins to simmer and thicken. Simmer the gravy for 3-5 minutes, until just before your desired gravy thickness is reached. (The gravy will continue to thicken as it cools, so stopping a bit early is a good idea.)*
- Pour over your hot biscuits and enjoy!
Notes
*If you over thicken your gravy, no worries! Simply add a little more milk as you heat the gravy, stirring constantly, until it thins out to the place you would like it.
