🥣 Traditional Sausage Gravy: A Southern Breakfast Favorite









There’s something incredibly comforting about a plate of fluffy biscuits smothered in creamy sausage gravy. It’s a Southern staple that’s both simple and satisfying — the kind of breakfast that warms your soul and keeps you full all morning.

This Traditional Sausage Gravy recipe is made with just a few pantry staples — ground sausage, flour, milk, and seasoning — yet it delivers rich flavor and silky texture that tastes like home. Whether you’re serving it for Sunday brunch, holiday mornings, or just craving some comfort, this recipe is sure to become a family favorite.

🧂 Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450 g) breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)

  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour

  • 3 cups whole milk (add more for thinner gravy)

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper (freshly cracked for best flavor)

  • Optional: pinch of cayenne or crushed red pepper for spice

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Brown the Sausage

In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the sausage until browned and no longer pink. Don’t drain all the fat — leave about 2–3 tablespoons in the pan for flavor.

2. Make the Roux

Sprinkle flour evenly over the sausage and stir well. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly to remove the raw flour taste.

3. Add the Milk Slowly

Gradually pour in the milk while stirring continuously. The mixture will thicken as it heats. Reduce to low heat and let simmer for 5–7 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.

4. Season to Taste

Add salt and pepper to taste. For a little extra kick, sprinkle in some cayenne or crushed red pepper.

5. Serve Hot

Pour the gravy generously over freshly baked biscuits, toast, or even fried chicken for the ultimate Southern comfort meal.

🧀 Tips for Perfect Sausage Gravy:

  • Use whole milk for the creamiest texture.

  • If gravy becomes too thick, whisk in a splash of milk.

  • For deeper flavor, mix mild and hot sausage together.

  • Make it ahead — it reheats beautifully in a saucepan with a little extra milk.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions:

  • Classic Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast

  • Over mashed potatoes or fried chicken

  • On top of buttermilk waffles for a savory twist
