How to Make Super Easy Sausage Gravy

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.
Pour off excess grease, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the skillet.
Whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 2 cups of milk in a separate bowl until smooth.
Gradually whisk the milk mixture into the skillet with the cooked sausage. Cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add a dash of hot sauce (optional).
Serve immediately over biscuits, toast, or grits.
