  • Author: Katelyn
  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Description

This made from scratch creamy, salty, southern-style sausage gravy is pure gold! Smother a homemade biscuit with this delicious gravy, and I promise your heart will be happy. It is too easy not to give it a try. 

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb breakfast pork sausage (I prefer Neese’s Hot Country sausage)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all purpose flour 
  • 3 cups 2% or whole milk 
  • kosher salt and pepper to taste (I normally use around 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper)

Instructions

  1. In a non-stick pan, break up the sausage and cook over medium low heat until it is nicely browned.

Equipment

Notes

  • If your gravy becomes too thick, just add a little milk to thin it out. You may need to adjust the seasoning a little with each addition of milk.
  • 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt is a good place to start. You can add 1/2 teaspoon at a time until the gravy is properly seasoned. 
  • You can use white pepper if you don’t want the black bits of pepper in your white gravy.
