Ingredients

1 pound bulk breakfast sausage

1/4 cup flour

2 cups milk

Salt and pepper

Directions

  1. Cook sausage in a cast iron skillet. When done, remove sausage from pan and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat. Whisk flour into the fat and cook over low heat for 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and whisk in milk a little at a time. Return to medium-high heat and stir occasionally while the gravy comes to a simmer and thickens. (Be sure to scrape up any brown bits that might be stuck to the bottom of the pan, that's where the flavor is.) Check seasoning, add crumbled sausage and serve over toast or biscuits.

Great basic sausage gravy recipe. When I make it exactly as stated it comes out a little too thick. Just add more milk. Actually a half pound of breakfast sausage instead of a pound is more like what you would get at a restaurant. The brand of sausage that I use will not render out a 1/4 of fat so I use 3 tbl spoons of butter. Also. I prefer to drain the sausage and make the gravy without in it first, then add the sausage. Season to taste.
