How to Make Country Sausage Gravy
- Brown 1 lb pork sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until cooked through.
- Remove the sausage from the skillet, leaving the rendered fat behind. Set aside.
- Add 2 tablespoons butter or bacon grease to the skillet with the sausage drippings.
- Reduce heat to medium. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is a light golden brown (this is your roux).
- Gradually whisk in 3 cups milk, ensuring no lumps form. Continue whisking until the gravy thickens and begins to bubble.
- Return the cooked sausage to the skillet.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. (Optional: Add 1/4 cup minced onions and/or a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes here.)
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
