How to Make Skillet Sausage Gravy

Ingredients

• Ground pork – Juicy, savory ground pork gives this gravy its classic, crave-worthy flavor.
• Butter – Butter adds richness and helps create a smooth, velvety gravy texture.
• All-purpose flour – This is the thickener for the gravy.
• Milk – Milk creates creaminess and lets you control how thick or pourable it gets.
• Salt and pepper – Simple seasoning that brings everything together and makes the flavors pop.

Note: Use seasoned pork sausage or add extra seasonings (garlic powder, nutmeg, etc.) as desired.

Instructions

1. Cook ground pork in a skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through and until desired level of doneness, about 8-15 minutes.

2. Stir in the butter until melted and absorbed by the pork, about 2 minutes.

3. Sprinkle on flour and stir to coat pork completely.

4. Add 3 cups of milk and simmer for 8 minutes until thickened, adding additional milk as desired to make more “gravy.”

5. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

6. Serve over chicken fried steak, fried chicken, or biscuits.

This recipe makes approximately 3-4 cups of sausage gravy, depending on the amount of milk used.

This gravy over pork chops or grilled steak is amazing! You could totally make this ahead for breakfast and use leftovers with dinner.

This recipe makes six servings and can easily be doubled for a larger crowd. Serve over cheesy cauliflower, loaded potatoes, or rice.
