How To Make homemade southern sausage gravy

  • Step 1
    Brown sausage in a pan, breaking up and crumbling.
  • Step 2
    Once the meat is fully browned, scoop it out with a slotted spoon, leaving any drippings in the skillet.
  • Step 3
    Add the butter or bacon fat to the same skillet and bring the pan up to medium heat.
  • Step 4
    Slowly whisk in the flour, stirring constantly until smooth, cooking for at least 5 minutes.
  • Step 5
    Slowly begin whisking in the first two cups of milk until fully incorporated and mixture begins to bubble. This will provide thick gravy. Continue whisking in additional milk a little bit at a time, until the gravy reaches the desired consistency.
  • Step 6
    Grind some pepper directly into the gravy, add salt to taste, and return the sausage to the skillet.
  • Step 7
    Stir to mix, Serve over your favorite biscuits!
