There is nothing quite like a warm, savory sausage gravy to make a slow weekend morning feel special. I love how the rich flavor of the sausage transforms into a velvety sauce that tastes amazing poured over fresh biscuits or crispy hash browns.

This recipe is a favorite in my kitchen because it comes together in just one pan. My best tip is to whisk your milk in slowly, which keeps the gravy smooth and free of any stubborn lumps while it thickens up.

🧺 Ingredients

1 pound ground pork breakfast sausage
1/3 cup all purpose flour
3 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon black pepper, or more to taste
1/4 teaspoon salt

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Place a large skillet over medium high heat and add the ground sausage.
2
Cook the sausage until it is browned and crumbled, making sure not to drain the fat from the pan.
3
Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir well for about one minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
4
Slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly to prevent any lumps from forming.
5
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook until the gravy thickens to your liking.
6
Season with the salt and plenty of black pepper before serving hot.

💡 Tips

Serve this immediately while it is hot for the best texture. If you have leftovers, store them in the fridge in an airtight container and add a tiny splash of milk when reheating to bring back that creamy consistency.
