Description
A rich, creamy, and peppery sausage gravy that is the perfect comfort food, served over warm biscuits for a nostalgic breakfast.
Ingredients
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- ½ sweet onion, chopped (optional)
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 3½ cups whole milk
- ½ tsp seasoned salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried sage or thyme (optional)
- Salt, to taste
- Biscuits, for serving
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage and the chopped sweet onion (if using). Cook, breaking up the sausage with a spatula, until browned.
- Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir to coat evenly. Cook for about 2 minutes.
- Slowly pour in the milk while whisking to avoid lumps.

- Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and more pepper if needed. Serve hot over warm biscuits.
Notes
For a lighter version, use dairy alternatives and lower-fat sausage. Ensure browning the sausage properly for the best flavor.
