Ingredients
- 1/2 lb. Ground Sausage I always use Jimmy Dean Original Breakfast sausage in the roll.
- 2 tbsp. Butter
- 4 tbsp. All Purpose Flour
- 2.5 cups Milk Option to replace 1/2 cup of the milk with heavy cream. Use whole or 2% milk. Any less fat and the gravy won't be creamy.
- 1.5 tsp. Black Pepper Course Ground
Instructions
- Brown Sausage until all fat is rendered. This will take about 10 minutes at medium high heat.
- Add in the butter and allow it to melt completely. It should be completely melted and foamy.
- To the butter and sausage add the 4 tbsp. of flour. Stir to cook out flour about 1 minute.
- When the flour is mixed evenly with the butter (it will look pasty, see photos) add in 1 cup of milk. Mixture will thicken quickly. This is a good time to cut your heat back a bit. I usually reduce it to low.
- As soon as it's super thick add in the 2nd cup of milk.
- Stir really well and add remaining 1/2 cup of milk (optional replace the last 1/2 cup of milk with heavy cream). Add in the 1.5 tsp. of black pepper and stir. If you're sensitive to pepper, add it to your tastes.
