Ingredients

Scale
For the Sausage Gravy
- 1 lb. mild ground breakfast sausage
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups whole milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For Serving
- 8 biscuits, prepared or storebought
Instructions
- Brown the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground breakfast sausage. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until the sausage is fully browned and no pink remains.
- Add Flour: Reduce the heat to medium. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the cooked sausage. Stir well to coat the sausage evenly with the flour, ensuring the flour absorbs into the fat and sausage for a minute or two.
- Season: Add the garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the sausage and flour mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine all the seasonings with the sausage base.
- Add Milk: Gradually whisk in the whole milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Continue to cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency, about 8-10 minutes.
- Serve Over Biscuits: Split the biscuits open and spoon the hot sausage gravy generously over the top. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try using spicy or maple sausage instead of mild.
- Keep stirring the gravy as it thickens to avoid lumps or sticking.
- If gravy becomes too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen it.
- This gravy is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
