Easy Country Gravy

By JAmero4702

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground sausage (see note)
• 3/4 cup flour
• 4 1/2 cups milk
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 Tbs butter

Preparation

Step 1

Saute sausage over medium-high heat in a large skillet until browned and crumbly. Reduce heat to medium and add flour to sausage; mix thoroughly. Cook until flour browns, about 4 minutes. Stir frequently so flour doesn't burn on the bottom of the pan.

Add milk slowly; increase heat to medium-high, stir often. Add salt and pepper to taste. As gravy comes to a boil, it will thicken. If it is to thick for your taste, add a 1/4 cup of milk. Reduce heat after bringing to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Add butter stirring until it melts.

Note: Ground sausage comes in several flavors and heat levels. Use what you like with the exception of maple sausage. That can male the gravy to sweet.
