Classic Sausage Gravy is rich and pepper-forward, packed with browned pork sausage that lends savory depth to every spoonful. Thickened with a simple roux and milk, it’s ideal ladled over hot biscuits or creamy grits for a cozy breakfast or brunch. A sprinkle of green onions adds a fresh bite against the hearty, homestyle gravy.

1

In a small frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high for about 30 seconds. Add Jimmy Dean sausage and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until browned, stirring often to break it into small pieces, then drain.
2

Stir in the flour to coat the sausage. Lower the heat to medium and add 1 cup of milk, stirring to avoid flour lumps. Add the remaining milk along with the salt and pepper. Raise the heat to medium-high for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sauce rises to the top of the pan (do not let it boil over).
3

Lower the heat to medium-low, stirring the sauce often until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
4

Serve over cooked grits or biscuits, and sprinkle with green onions.
