Southern Sausage Gravy
This Southern Sausage Gravy is rich, peppery, and full of sausage flavor. It’s the perfect topping for fluffy biscuits and makes a great breakfast or brunch.
Servings: 6 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound hot and spicy breakfast sausage
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup flour
- 3-3½ cups whole milk
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama® seasoning
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, add breakfast sausage. Using a spatula, break up sausage while cooking over medium heat.
- Once the sausage is completely cooked, add butter into the pan.
- Sprinkle flour, Slap Ya Mama®, pepper, and garlic powder over sausage and stir until well coated. Continue stirring and let flour cook for about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in milk while stirring constantly. Once milk is fully incorporated, reduce heat and simmer until the gravy thickens.
Notes
- Reheating: I like to warm leftover gravy in a skillet or pot on the stove over medium heat, stirring often so it heats evenly. If it’s too thick, just splash in a little milk to loosen it up. The microwave works too if you’re short on time.
- Brown the Flour: Let the flour cook and brown slightly before adding the milk. This step deepens the flavor and keeps your gravy from tasting like raw flour.
