How to Make Easy Sausage Gravy

  1. Brown 1 lb sausage in a large saucepan over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Stir in 1/4 cup butter until melted and incorporated.
  3. Sprinkle 1/4 cup all-purpose flour over the sausage and butter, stirring constantly to create a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in 3 cups milk, ensuring no lumps form. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently.
  6. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency.
  7. Serve immediately over your favorite biscuits, grits, or mashed potatoes.
