Sausage Gravy

Ingredients

  • 1 Lb Breakfast Sausage (Jimmy Dean Regular or Hot)
  • 1/4 Cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 Cups Milk (a few tablespoons more if it is too thick for you)
  • 1 Tbs Hot Sauce (Texas Pete, Louisiana or other)
  • 1/2 Tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 Tsp Ground Black Pepper

Note: The breakfast sausage contains enough salt already that you won’t need to add any.

Directions

  1. In a medium pan break down and brown the breakfast sausage over med/hi heat.
  2. Once all of the sausage is browned, sprinkle the flour over the sausage and mix well. Continue to cook the sausage for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently to reduce the flour taste in the sausage.
  3. Slowly pour in the milk and add the hot sauce, paprika, and black pepper.
  4. Continue to stir the gravy mixture until it starts to boil. When it starts to boil, the gravy will start to thicken. After 2 to 3 minutes the thickening will be complete. If it is too thick for your liking, add in milk a tablespoon at a time and stir.
  5. When it reaches your desired thickness, cut off the heat and serve on biscuits, eggs, whatever you want. Enjoy!
