Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula. I let it cook until it’s nice and browned, filling my kitchen with that wonderful aroma. Once it’s fully cooked, I sprinkle the flour over the sausage and mix it in, letting it cook for a minute or two. Then, I gradually add the milk while whisking to prevent lumps. I let the mixture simmer and thicken, seasoning it with salt and pepper to my liking. The smell is absolutely irresistible! This is the base of my sausage gravy.
