Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground pork sausage
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 6 cups whole milk
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat, brown the ground pork sausage, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula or wooden spoon. Cook until no pink remains, about 7-8 minutes.

Step 2

If the sausage releases excessive grease, carefully drain most of the grease, leaving about 1-2 tablespoons in the pan for added flavor.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the unsalted butter to the cooked sausage. Stir gently until the butter is fully melted and mixed with the sausage.

Step 4

Gradually sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the sausage and stir until the sausage is evenly coated. Cook the mixture for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the milk, about 1 cup at a time, while constantly stirring to avoid lumps. Stir well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken.

Step 6

Once all the milk is added, increase the heat to medium and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

Season the gravy with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 8

Serve the sausage gravy hot over freshly baked biscuits or your preferred dish. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of milk if necessary to loosen the gravy.
