Ingredients for Sausage Gravy

  • Sausage: I use breakfast sausage because it has lots of flavor. I prefer pork sausage, but turkey sausage (or any variety you love) also works. If using sausage links, remove the casings.
  • Butter: In addition to the sausage drippings, use salted butter or replace it with bacon fat if you have it.
  • Flour: All-purpose flour thickens the gravy (this is a roux).
  • Seasoning: I prefer to keep sausage gravy simple and season with salt and pepper. You can add a pinch of sage or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.

  2. Add butter or bacon grease to the cooked sausage. Add the flour and cook for 2 minutes.

This homemade sausage gravy recipe is the ultimate comfort food. Spoon it over biscuits or fried chicken, or serve it with waffles or eggs.

  • In a large skillet, brown the sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until no pink remains. Do not drain the fat.

  • Add the butter or bacon fat and stir until melted. Add the flour and cook for 2 minutes more.

  • Add milk a little bit at a time, stirring after each addition.

  • Bring to a boil while stirring, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until thickened and bubbly.

  • Taste and season with salt and pepper.

You can use more or less milk to reach the desired consistency.
We love the flavor of pork sausage, but you can substitute turkey sausage in this recipe. You may need to add extra butter or bacon grease if using a lean sausage.
