Sausage Gravy

We are big fans of comfort food and sausage gravy served over biscuits is one of those classic comfort foods.

Biscuits and gravy is a classic. It’s so delicious, pure comfort. It’s also easy to make from scratch. It’s perfect for those mornings where you feel like a good old family breakfast where everyone is seated at the table at the same time enjoying each others company before they’re all off doing their own thing. So here’s to cozy breakfasts at home. Here’s our favorite biscuit recipe, but we also love the convenience of the store bought biscuits in a tube.

What is sausage gravy:

Sausage gravy is so easy to make, it’s a mix of sausage, butter, flour, seasonings and milk. Thickened with flour, yet it can be thinned out with milk too. It’s pure comfort on a chilly morning. It’s one of those breakfast meals that brings memories to mind of your childhood. It makes great leftovers too.

What is needed to make sausage gravy:

• 1/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 pound pork sausage
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 cup finely minced yellow onion
• 3 cups whole milk

How do you make sausage gravy:

• Heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the pork sausage to the pan and break into small pieces with a meat chopper. Cook until lightly browned, about 5 to 6 minutes.
• Turn the heat off and slightly tip the pan to one side to allow excess grease from the sausage to pool at the bottom of the pan. Gently press a paper towel into the grease to absorb some of the excess grease.
• Add the butter to the center of the pan. Add the minced onion to the sausage, cook until fragrant and the onions are tender, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Sprinkle in the flour, salt, pepper and thyme over the sausage, stir and cook until the flour is absorbed.
• 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 more salt and pepper if desired.
• Serve over biscuits split in half with the sausage gravy on top. Enjoy!

What serve with sausage gravy:

Sausage gravy is classically served over biscuits but you can also serve sausage gravy over other dishes like:

• hashbrowns

whatever you choose to serve our sausage gravy on it also pairs well with a fried eggs and some crispy bacon.

Can I make sausage gravy the night before:

Yes! If you want to get a jump start on your morning breakfast you can absolutely cook your sausage gravy the night before. Be sure to store your cooked and cooled down gravy in an airtight container in the fridge. To reheat, pour your gravy into a medium saucepan and warm completely through stirring occasionally on medium – low heat. If it’s too thick you can add a little milk to help thin it out.

Can sausage gravy be frozen:
