How to Make Hubby's All Time Favorite Sausage Gravy

  1. Brown the sausage and onion in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking the sausage into crumbles as it cooks. Cook until the sausage is browned and the onion is softened, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Drain off all but 2 tablespoons of the rendered sausage grease from the skillet.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and drippings, stirring constantly to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the flour is golden and fragrant.
  4. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Continue whisking until the gravy is smooth.
  5. Bring the gravy to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low.
  6. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  7. Season with salt, pepper, sage, and thyme (optional) to taste.
  8. Serve immediately over your favorite biscuits.
