Directions

1. In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through. Use a spatula to break it into small pieces as it cooks.
2. When the sausage is cooked, sprinkle the flour over it. Stir well to coat the sausage with flour.
3. Reduce the heat to medium and slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
5. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the sausage gravy cool slightly. The gravy will continue to thicken as it cools.
