From Scratch Sausage Gravy Recipe
Full of flavor, this will quickly become a family favorite recipe!
Ingredients
- One pound ground breakfast sausage
- 3 Tablespoons canola oil
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- 4 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper I use more, you cannot over pepper sausage gravy, in my opinion
Instructions
- In large saucepan or cast iron skillet, brown sausage on medium heat.
- Stir in oil. Then add flour and stir frequently over medium heat to allow flour to brown. This will take time, be patient, this is where flavor develops. I usually let it cook at least ten minutes. (You might be afraid your flour is sticking to the bottom of the pan—it’s okay, just keep stirring and all will be well when you add the milk.)
- Once flour is browned, add milk, salt and pepper, and continue to stir until thick and bubbly.
- Turn to low heat and allow to simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat, finish seasoning to taste and you’re ready to go.
