How to Make Southern Cajun Sausage Gravy
- Cook 1 pound of spicy Cajun sausage in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (about 8-10 minutes).
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked sausage to a bowl and set aside.
- Remove all but 3 tablespoons of the rendered sausage fat from the skillet.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup all-purpose flour into the skillet, stir well, and cook over medium-high heat for 1 minute, stirring constantly to create a roux.
- Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Slowly whisk in 2 cups whole milk and 1/2 cup chicken broth, whisking constantly until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Return the skillet to medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the gravy is slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste).
- Add the crumbled sausage back to the gravy and combine well.
- Cook over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through. Do not boil.
- Serve immediately over split biscuits. Enjoy!
