Perfect over some homemade biscuits on a Saturday morning!
This gravy is regularly requested when family is in to visit, and I have never taken the time to write out the recipe. To be honest, I usually eyeball the ingredients, so I really couldn't tell you how much of anything I was using. Today you're in luck! I made sausage gravy this weekend, and finally measured out the ingredients so I could share it with you! We like to have our gravy over biscuits with a runny egg and cheese on top! Best. Breakfast. Ever!
I really like the flavor of sage, so I almost always use Jimmy Dean Sage pork sausage, AND I add a little more sage to the dish. You really can't go wrong with adding even more! I also think it is really important to use good quality, fresh spices in everything I cook. It really makes a difference. You get the BEST results by grinding fresh whole spices.
Pro Tip - I like crispy bits in the sausage because it gives it more flavor, so don't be afraid to turn up the heat!
Country Sausage Gravy
Ingredients
1 lb. pork breakfast sausage
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
4 cups milk
Directions
Brown breakfast sausage in a large skillet on medium high heat until fully cooked.
Add flour and spices, whisk to combine and cook until you smell a nutty aroma, 2-3 minutes.
Add milk and bring to a boil, then lower temperature and simmer to desired thickness.
Pro Tip - Make sure you fully cook the flour so you don't get that raw flour taste in your gravy!
