There is something so special about a warm, creamy gravy served over fresh biscuits on a slow morning. This recipe uses simple ingredients and relies on the flavorful drippings from the sausage to create a rich base that feels like a big hug in a bowl.

My best tip for success is to whisk the flour into the sausage drippings for about a minute before adding the milk. This cooks out the raw flour taste and helps the gravy thicken up beautifully without any lumps.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound pork breakfast sausage
  • 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the pork sausage.

  2. 2

    Cook the sausage until it is browned and crumbled, making sure not to drain the fat from the pan.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle the flour evenly over the cooked sausage and stir well for about one minute.

  4. 4

    Slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly to prevent any lumps from forming.

  5. 5

    Continue to cook the gravy over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it bubbles and thickens to your liking.

  6. 6

    Stir in the salt and plenty of black pepper before serving hot over warm biscuits or toast.

💡 Tips

Store any leftover gravy in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. When you reheat it, add a splash of milk or water to help thin it out, as it will thicken up quite a bit once it cools down.
