This easy stove-top sausage gravy recipe is perfect for pairing with your favorite comfort foods like biscuits, fried chicken, or steak.
ingredient
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoons black pepper
- 1 pound sweet Italian pork sausage, casings removed
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon chopped thyme, dried
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- ½ cup finely minced yellow onion
- 3 cups whole milk
Directions
- In a small bowl whisk together flour, salt, and black pepper.
- Heat a large nonstick pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the pork sausage to the pan and break into smaller pieces using a wooden spoon. Cook until no longer pink and lightly browned, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Melt the butter in the pan. Add the thyme, garlic, and onion, cook until fragrant and onions are tender, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour mixture over the sausage, stir and cook until the flour is absorbed, 2 minutes.
- Slowly stir in the milk, then turn up the heat to medium-high to bring to a boil.
- Lower the heat to a simmer, cook and stir occasionally until the gravy is thick and can coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
- Taste the gravy and season with salt and pepper as desired.
- Serve with biscuits split in half with sausage gravy on top, or other desired foods.
