Ingredients

• 8 oz Jimmy Dean sausage (original or your preferred flavor)
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 0.25 tsp Paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the Jimmy Dean sausage until fully browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside.

Step 2

In the same skillet or a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Whisk in the flour to create a roux and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the roux is golden and slightly bubbly.

Step 4

Gradually add the whole milk to the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until it thickens to a sauce-like consistency.

Step 5

Stir in the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Continue to stir until the cheese has fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 2 more minutes to blend the flavors.

Step 7

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Optionally, sprinkle a small pinch of paprika over the sauce for additional flavor and color.

Step 8

Serve the warm Jimmy Dean sauce over freshly made omelets, or use it as a dip for hash browns or biscuits. Enjoy!
