Ingredients
-
1 lb breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
-
¼ cup all-purpose flour
-
2–3 cups milk (whole milk works best)
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
Optional: Red pepper flakes, 1 tsp crushed garlic (for extra flavor)
Instructions
-
Cook Sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage, breaking it up as it cooks (5–7 minutes).
-
Add Flour: Sprinkle flour over the sausage, stirring well to coat. Cook for 1–2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
-
Add Milk: Gradually pour in milk, stirring constantly. Let the gravy thicken for about 5 minutes. Add more milk if needed.
-
Season: Add salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes or garlic. Stir until smooth.
-
Serve: Pour over biscuits, toast, or hash browns and enjoy!
Notes
-
For a spicy kick, use spicy sausage or add more red pepper flakes.
-
To lighten the dish, use turkey sausage and low-fat milk.
-
If the gravy becomes too thick, simply add more milk and stir.
