Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound pork sausage
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Cook the pork sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain off most of the grease, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the skillet.
- Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the salt and black pepper.
- Serve hot over biscuits.
Notes
- For a spicier gravy, use hot pork sausage.
- If you prefer a thinner gravy, add a little more milk.
- You can make this gravy ahead of time and reheat it gently on the stovetop.
