If you love rich and creamy breakfast dishes, this Paula Deen Sausage Gravy Recipe is perfect for you. It is simple, filling and full of flavor.
Ingredients
- 250 g breakfast sausage
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper optional
Instructions
Cook the Sausage
- Heat a skillet on medium heat. Add sausage. Cook until browned and fully cooked. Break into small pieces while cooking.
Add Butter
- Add butter to the cooked sausage. Let it melt completely. This adds richness and helps build the gravy base.
Add Flour
- Sprinkle flour over the sausage mixture. Stir well. Cook for one minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Pour in Milk
- Slowly add milk while stirring continuously. This prevents lumps. Keep mixing until the gravy starts to thicken.
Simmer the Gravy
- Cook on low heat. Stir often. Let it simmer until thick and creamy. This usually takes 5–7 minutes.
Season the Gravy
- Add salt, black pepper and red pepper if using. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve Hot
- Remove from heat. Serve immediately over warm biscuits for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use spicy sausage for extra flavor.
- Add garlic powder for more depth.
- Use half-and-half instead of milk for richer gravy.
- Stir constantly to avoid lumps.
- Add cooked bacon for a smoky twist.
- Use gluten-free flour if needed.
