How to Make Otoro's Ultimate Sausage Gravy

  1. Brown 1 pound of sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Pour off excess grease, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the skillet.
  3. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour over the sausage, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in 3 cups of whole milk, ensuring no lumps form. Continue whisking until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste.
  6. Serve immediately over your favorite biscuits, toast, or grits.
