Bill's Sausage Gravy

Recipe View Gather all ingredients and have them prepped and ready to go. (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a large, deep skillet, cook the sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a spoon, until evenly browned and cooked through. (8-10 minutes)

Recipe View Remove the cooked sausage from the skillet using a slotted spoon, reserving the flavorful drippings in the pan.

Recipe View Add the butter to the skillet with the sausage drippings. Stir until the butter is completely melted. (1 minute)

Recipe View Sprinkle the flour over the melted butter and drippings. Stir continuously until the flour is fully incorporated and a smooth roux forms. (2-3 minutes)

Recipe View Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking the roux, stirring constantly, until it turns a light golden brown color. This step is crucial for developing the flavor of the gravy. (3-5 minutes)

Recipe View Gradually whisk in the milk, a little at a time, ensuring that each addition is fully incorporated before adding more. Continue whisking until the gravy is smooth and free of lumps. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Bring the gravy to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency. (8-10 minutes)

Recipe View Season the gravy with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. (1 minute)

Recipe View Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir to combine with the gravy. (1 minute)

Recipe View Simmer the gravy for another 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld together. If the gravy becomes too thick, stir in a little more milk to thin it out. (12-15 minutes)

Recipe View Serve hot over freshly baked biscuits, toast, or even mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
