Homemade Simply Delicious Sausage Gravy is so easy to make using my Nana’s recipe!
So I’m about to let you in on a little family secret…
…we love sausage gravy! Â
Ask Bryce any time of the day what he wants to eat and nine times out of ten he will answer with sausage gravy. He eats it by the spoonful – no biscuits required! The rest of us eat more civilly with yummy, buttery biscuits 🙂  It has long been a family favorite and it’s really a cinch to pull together. The recipe I use calls for only a handful of ingredients and can be easily customized to your family’s tastes and preferences. If you like your gravy a little runnier, use a little less flour and a little more milk. If you like it nice and thick try using a little less milk. Try adding in some red pepper flakes or cayenne to spice it up a little. Throw in some herbs to really add some depth of flavor – sage is delicious!
Ingredients:
1 pound breakfast sausage
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk or half & half, heavy whipping cream, evaporated milk – pretty much any dairy product 😉
Black pepper to taste – I use lots of cracked black pepper
pinch of sugar {cause that’s what my Nana used!}
Directions:
Brown sausage. Season liberally with black pepper. Sprinkle flour over the cooked sausage and stir. Let flour cook for 1-2 minutes and then gradually add milk, stirring as you pour. Bring gravy to a simmer and let thicken. This is where my Nana adds a pinch of sugar and so do I. She told me that it helps the gravy brown and I guess that makes sense because the sugar is caramelizing. Who knew?
I love serving Simply Delicious Sausage Gravy over my Perfect Biscuits – breakfast perfection my friends!
Did I mention – no shirt required?
Awwww yeah!
