Description

This Easy Sausage Gravy is creamy, rich, and packed with savory sausage flavor. It’s a Southern comfort food classic, perfect for pouring over warm, flaky biscuits or toast. Made with simple ingredients, this hearty gravy comes together in under 20 minutes, making it a quick and delicious option for breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (optional, for extra richness)
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 cups (600 ml) whole milk (add more if needed for thinning)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (more to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Instructions

1. Cook the sausage:

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble the sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked (about 6-8 minutes).
  • If there’s excess grease, drain some off but leave about 2 tablespoons in the pan for flavor.

2. Make the roux:

  • Add butter (if using) and sprinkle the flour over the sausage.
  • Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes until the flour absorbs the fat and turns a light golden color.

3. Add milk and seasonings:

  • Gradually pour in the milk while stirring to prevent lumps.
  • Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  • Cook over medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until the gravy thickens to your liking.

4. Adjust and serve:

  • If the gravy becomes too thick, add a little more milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

5. Serve:

  • Spoon the sausage gravy generously over freshly baked biscuits, toast, or even fried potatoes for a hearty breakfast.

Notes

  • Use spicy sausage for extra heat or maple-flavored sausage for a sweet-savory combo.
  • Add fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge; reheat with a splash of milk to maintain creaminess.
