Homemade Country Sausage Gravy

Step 1

In a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until it is brown. Use a spatula to break up the sausage until it is crumbled. Do not discard the grease.

Step 3

On low heat, sprinkle the flour over the top of the sausage. Stir and allow the flour to cook for a few minutes while it absorbs the sausage grease.

Step 5

Add the heavy cream or milk to the sausage/flour mixture. As the milk or cream heats up, the sausage will thicken. Add salt and pepper to your desired taste. Then, continue to stir, over low heat, until the gravy thickens.

Step 7

How much cream or milk you add, will determine if your gravy is thick or thin. The less cream or milk, the thicker the gravy. If you want the gravy thinner, add a little more cream or milk at a time until you achieve your perfect style of gravy.

Step 9

Split your biscuit in half or crumble onto a plate, then top generously with sausage gravy. Add more salt and pepper, if needed.
