Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2-3 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worchestershire sauce   (optional)
  • salt to taste

Instruction

  • Heat a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add in sausage, onion powder, and garlic powder, to the skillet. Break into small chunks as the sausage cooks until it is browned and no longer pink.
  • Add in butter and melt.
  • Sprinkle flour evenly over sausage and stir to evenly coat sausage and distribute flour through rendered fat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw taste of flour.
  • Slowly whisk in 2 cups of milk, 1/2 cup at a time, whisking constantly. Bring to a gentle bubble and then reduce heat to medium-low. Add in nutmeg and pepper, and cook until thickened--about 8-10 minutes. Note: If you would like thinner sausage gravy, add in up to 1 cup of additional milk, adding only 1/4 cup at a time until desired consistency is achieved.
  • Once sausage gravy is thickened, turn off the heat and stir in the Worcestershire Sauce. Taste to see if salt or pepper is needed.
  • Serve immediately.
