What You’ll Need To Make Sausage Gravy
- Sausage: Use raw breakfast sausage because it has loads of flavor. I prefer pork sausage and usually buy it in the freezer case. Any variety of sausage can be used. If using sausage links, remove the casings.
- Butter: Butter is added to the sausage drippings to create a roux with the flour. You can replace the butter with bacon fat if you have it.
- Flour: All-purpose flour thickens the gravy.
- Milk: Whole milk makes for the creamiest gravy.
- Seasoning: This sausage gravy recipe is simply seasoned with salt and pepper. You can add a pinch of sage or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.

Sausage Gravy
Sausage gravy is the ultimate comfort food. Rich and creamy, this is perfect for spooning over morning biscuits, fries, and so much more.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
- ▢ 1 pound ground pork sausage
- ▢ 1 tablespoon salted butter or bacon fat
- ▢ ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ▢ 2 ⅓ cups whole milk
- ▢ salt and black pepper to taste
In a large skillet, brown the sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until no pink remains. Do not drain the fat.
Add the butter or bacon fat and stir until melted. Add the flour and cook for 2 minutes more.
Add milk a little bit at a time, stirring after each addition.
Bring to a boil while stirring, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until thickened and bubbly.
Taste and season with salt and pepper.
You can use more or less milk to reach the desired consistency.
We love the flavor of pork sausage, but you can substitute turkey sausage in this recipe. You may need to add extra butter or bacon grease if using a lean sausage.
Store leftover sausage gravy in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
