Ingredients
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Biscuits, for serving
Directions
- 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.
- When the sausage is cooked, sprinkle the flour over it. Stir well to coat the sausage with flour.
- 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.
- Add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and let the sausage gravy cool slightly. The gravy will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Serve the sausage gravy warm over freshly baked biscuits.
