I’m a big fan of this creamy sausage gravy recipe and I think you will be, too! We keep it super classic. I love using our homemade breakfast sausage when I have it on hand. The hint of onion, sage, and maple syrup in the sausage is so delicious in the gravy. I highly recommend making biscuits and gravy, and love these fluffy biscuits or drop biscuits!
You Will Need
12 ounces breakfast sausage, try homemade sausage
1 tablespoon butter
½ cup minced onion
1 teaspoon chopped thyme or ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ¾ cups milk
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
Black pepper, to taste
1 batch homemade fluffy biscuits
Directions
1Melt the butter in a wide skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until brown. Use a whisk to break up the sausage into small, crumbly pieces.
2Just before the sausage browns, add in the onion and thyme.
3When the sausage is brown and the onions are translucent, whisk in the flour until smooth. Pour in half of the milk and whisk to a smooth consistency.
4Once it thickens, add the rest of the milk and season it with salt. Whisk together and bring to a simmer for a few minutes.
5Ladle generously over freshly baked biscuits or sautéed potatoes. Garnish with freshly ground black pepper.
Adam and Joanne's Tips
- Storing: Transfer the gravy to an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat on the stovetop over low heat, stirring often to prevent the bottom from scorching.
