Description
Sausage with Gravy is a classic comfort dish featuring savory, juicy sausages served with a rich, flavorful gravy. This hearty meal is simple to prepare, satisfying to eat, and perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dinner. It pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, biscuits, or even rice.
Ingredients
- Pork sausages (or your preferred sausage)
- All-purpose flour
- Butter (optional, if needed for extra fat)
- Milk
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Onion powder (optional, for added depth)
- Paprika (optional, for color and flavor)
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausages until browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove and keep warm.
- If there is less than 2 tablespoons of fat in the skillet, add butter. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly, until golden and smooth.
- Gradually whisk in the milk. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens. Season with salt, black pepper, onion powder, and paprika if using.
- Return the sausages to the skillet, spoon gravy over them, and heat through.
- Serve hot over biscuits, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Notes
- For a spicy version, use spicy sausage or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the gravy.
- For a creamier gravy, use a combination of milk and cream.
- Vegetarian options can include plant-based sausages and vegetable broth with plant-based milk for the gravy.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently with a splash of milk if necessary.
