For a spicier gravy, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the skillet along with the sausage. If the gravy becomes too thick, add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency. For a richer flavor, use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk. Make sure the roux is properly browned. This step adds a nutty flavor to the gravy. Warm the milk before adding it to the roux to avoid lumps.

01 Step
Recipe View 7 mins In a large skillet, cook the ground pork sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it is browned and fully cooked, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
02 Step
Recipe View 5 mins Reduce the heat to medium. Add the bacon grease (or butter) to the skillet with the sausage drippings. Whisk in the flour, stirring constantly to create a roux. Continue to cook, stirring, until the roux turns a light golden brown color, about 5 minutes. This step is crucial for flavor development.
03 Step
Recipe View 3 mins Gradually whisk in the warmed milk, a little at a time, ensuring each addition is fully incorporated before adding more. This prevents lumps from forming. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps.
04 Step
Recipe View 13 mins Bring the gravy to a simmer, then return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Adjust seasonings to taste.
05 Step
Recipe View Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency, about 10-15 minutes. Be patient; the gravy will thicken as it simmers.
06 Step
Recipe View Serve hot over freshly baked biscuits, toast, or even mashed potatoes.
