Simple Savory Sausage Gravy
This recipe for Simple Savory Sausage Gravy is the perfect balance of heat to spice to sausage to the creamy gravy
Ingredients
- 4 - 6 ounces breakfast sausage about 2 ounces per person
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 - 3 cups whole milk
- 1 tablespoon Slap yo Mama seasoning (or a mixture of ½ tablespoon season salt, along with ½ teaspoon red pepper and garlic powder) or to taste
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme or to taste
- Pinch dried sage if leaves use your fingers to pulverize it
- Generous amount of freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Using your fingers, break the breakfast sausage into small pieces in a large skillet, and cook over medium heat. When it loses its pink color, add the butter, and cook stirring, until the butter is melted. Add half the flour and stir until absorbed into the butter and coats the sausage, continue adding the flour little by little, stirring it around until it has all been used and the pan looks dry, and the flour starts to brown, about a minute more.
- Slowly add 1 ½ cups of milk, stirring constantly until it thickens, adding more milk as needed. This process can take up to 10 minutes, so don't add too much all at once, add as needed until you get a nice thick "gravy". If the sauce becomes too thick, add more milk in small amounts.
- Once the gravy is nice and thick, add the Slap yo Mama or equivalent, thyme, sage, and black pepper. Stir, and taste. Adjust seasonings and serve immediately over warmed halved biscuits.
