By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 1 pound breakfast sausage

• 2 cups milk or half & half, heavy whipping cream, evaporated milk – pretty much any dairy product ;)
• Black pepper to taste – I use lots of cracked black pepper
• pinch of sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Brown sausage. Season liberally with black pepper. Sprinkle flour over the cooked sausage and stir. Let flour cook for 1-2 minutes and then gradually add milk, stirring as you pour.

Bring gravy to a simmer and let thicken. This is where my Nana adds a pinch of sugar and so do I. She told me that it helps the gravy brown and I guess that makes sense because the sugar is caramelizing.

Serve over biscuits.
