Ingredients

1 pound pork breakfast sausage
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 - 2 ½ cups whole milk
fresh cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

Cook the sausage in a cast iron or heavy bottom large skillet. Once done cooking, DO NOT drain off the grease. Leave it in the pan and turn the heat down to low.
Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage. Stir the flour into the sausage and grease, making a roux. Continue stirring for approximately 2 minutes until the flour is cooked.
Slowly pour in half of the milk, stirring it into the roux and sausage. Turn the heat up to medium and pour the rest of the milk in, stirring to incorporate. Continue to stir until the gravy has thickened. Add in black pepper, taste to adjust salt if needed.
Serve hot over warm biscuits or toast.

Notes

How to Store & Reheat
Keep any leftover sausage gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to enjoy again, warm it gently in a skillet over medium-low heat. Since the gravy thickens as it cools, stir in a splash of milk while reheating until it loosens back up to the right consistency.
