This homemade sausage gravy recipe is easy to make in just 5 minutes. It’s perfect for biscuits and gravy, but also delicious on chicken fried steak or with any recipe where you would use a white gravy!

Ingredients

1/2 lb. sausage
2-4 Tbsp. drippings (grease from sausage)
4 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Fry sausage in a frying pan.
  2. Leave 2-4 Tbsp. of drippings in the pan, draining the rest.
  3. Add flour to the pan.
  4. Quickly whisk to mix and loosen the crumbs. The mixture will be thick.
  5. Slowly add milk, whisking to mix into the flour mix.
  6. Whisk well.
  7. Bring to a boil, whisking the whole time until the mixture is thick. If it gets too thick, just add a little more milk.
  8. Salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

  • When I make sausage gravy and biscuits or hamburger gravy, I leave the meat in the pan and just drain off some of the grease. Then I make the gravy with the meat still in the pan. Ground sausage or hamburger are good types of meat to start with because if you do get a few lumps at first it won’t be obvious because of the texture of the crumbled and fried meat.
  • If you don’t have 2-4 tablespoons of grease leftover from frying, just add butter, margarine, oil or bacon grease to get that amount.
  • This sausage gravy can be used for chicken fried steak, too.
