Hot, buttery biscuits piled high with the best sausage gravy – my favorite Homemade Sausage Gravy Recipe is southern comfort food that won’t disappoint.
2 ½teaspoonsfreshly ground black pepper, more to taste
½teaspoonseasoned salt
Optional
1-2poached eggsper serving
Instructions
Bake your favorite biscuit recipe.
Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain most of the grease, then return the sausage to the skillet. (Leave about 1-2 tablespoons.)
1 pound pork sausage
Sprinkle flour over the sausage and stir so that the sausage soaks it all up.
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
Stir the sausage around and cook it for another few minutes to cook the flour, then slowly pour in some of the milk. Stirring constantly. Once it thickens, add the rest of the milk.
3 cups milk
Continue to cook the gravy, stirring frequently, until it thickens. (This should take about 10 minutes.)
Add the seasoned salt and pepper and continue cooking until the gravy reaches your desired thickness.
2 ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, ½ teaspoon seasoned salt
Cook Eggs if Desired
If using poached or baked eggs, prepare as desired.
1-2 poached eggs
Serve
Spoon the sausage gravy over warm biscuits and serve immediately, topped with a poached egg and green onions.
6-8 biscuits
Notes
If the gravy gets too thick too quickly, you can slowly add another ½ cup of milk. Sprinkle with a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired to spice it up.
Recipe Yield
This recipe should yield 6-8 servings, with everyone eating 1-2 biscuits each. I usually have one egg, one biscuit, and a scoop of gravy. My husband usually has two eggs, two biscuits, and an extra-large scoop of gravy.
How to Store Leftover Sausage Gravy
