Ingredients
Scale
Meat Ingredients:
- 1 lb mild ground breakfast sausage
Main Dry Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 grams) garlic powder
Liquid and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 3 cups whole milk
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 8 biscuits
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium-high temperature and thoroughly cook the sausage, breaking it into small crumbles until no pink remains and a rich golden-brown color develops.
- Reduce heat to medium and sprinkle flour over the cooked sausage, stirring continuously to create a uniform mixture that coats the meat evenly.
- Incorporate garlic powder, salt, and pepper into the sausage-flour blend, ensuring the seasonings are distributed thoroughly throughout the mixture.
- Gradually pour whole milk into the skillet, whisking consistently to prevent lumps and create a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Continue cooking and stirring the gravy for 5-7 minutes, allowing it to simmer and thicken until it reaches a rich, velvety texture that coats the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and let the gravy rest for 2-3 minutes to further develop its flavor and stabilize its consistency.
- Ladle the hot sausage gravy generously over warm, freshly baked biscuits, ensuring each biscuit is completely covered with the savory sauce.
Notes
- Opt for high-fat ground sausage to ensure maximum flavor and richness in your gravy.
- Continuously stir the mixture to prevent flour from burning and creating lumpy texture.
- Control heat carefully to maintain smooth consistency without scorching milk.
- Consider using alternative milk options like oat or almond milk for dietary restrictions while maintaining creamy texture.
