Sausage gravy is a staple in any southern household. This delicious concoction can be slathered over buttermilk biscuits and creates an awesome fusion of flavor.

I remember as a kid, my nanny and I would go out for breakfast and I would always get this awesome combination. Honey, I’m telling you, you don’t want to pass up trying this recipe!

The nostalgia it brings makes it 10x better!

Ingredients:

1 pound pork breakfast sausage 

3 tablespoons butter 

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

3 cups whole milk

Directions

1. In a large skillet over medium high heat, cook the 1 pound pork breakfast sausage until brown and crumbly. 
2. When the sausage is done, add the 3 tablespoons butter if there is little to no residual butter in the pan. If there is excess oil for the sausage, you may not need to add butter. Ideally, you want about 3 tablespoons of fat, either from the sausage or from the melted butter. 
3. Sprinkle sausage with 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, stir, and allow to cook for several minutes until the flour can absorb some of the fat and get golden brown

4. Add the 3 cups whole milk and stir. Continue stirring occasionally over medium heat until gravy thickens, 5-10 minutes.
