Sausage Gravy is a simple and tasty recipe made from pork sausage and cream and a few other simple ingredients. Serve over warm biscuits or fried chicken!
In a large frying pan or skillet, cook breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking apart into crumbles as it cooks. Once cooked and no longer pink, approximately 10 minutes, remove meat using a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve rendered pork fat in the pan.
Reduce heat to low and stir in flour. Continue to stir until it makes a paste and turns a light brown. (If needed, add 1 to tablespoons butter to make sure there's enough fat for a paste.)
Add 1/4 cup milk, whisking (or stirring well using the back of a spoon) to break apart the flour clumps. Whisk until smooth. Add remaining milk in 3 additions, whisking after each to prevent lumps, until gravy begins to thicken.
Add cooked sausage back to the pan, stirring until combine and coated in gravy.
Add seasoned salt and pepper to the gravy. Taste gravy and add more seasoning to your tastes. (I like my gravy peppery, so I add 1/2 teaspoon.) Add fresh herbs, if desired.
Spoon over freshly baked biscuits while gravy is still hot.
