Ingredients
  

  • Two 12-ounce packages of pork sausage; prefer Jimmy Dean with Sage
  • 1/3 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups milk
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh ground pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until cooked through and browned (approximately 10-15 minutes)
  • Once the sausage is cooked, drain the sausage, but don't clean the skillet - you'll want to keep the rendered fat.
  • Whisk 1/3 cup flour into the rendered fat in the skillet.
  • Whisk in the milk until smooth and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until thickened, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Add drained sausage to the gravy and stir.
  • Season with salt and pepper.

Notes

If gravy is too thin, add a little more flour.
If too thick, add milk 1-2 tablespoons at a time).
If you prefer, you can substitute hamburger for sausage.
