Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Method
 

  1. In a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, cook sausage, breaking it into small crumbles, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle flour over the cooked sausage and stir to coat, cooking for 2-3 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  3. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps, and bring to a simmer.
  4. Add salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, then serve hot over buttermilk biscuits.
