By lbgtdep

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds bulk pork sausage
• 1 cup chopped onion (1 large)
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 cups milk
• Salt and ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons snipped fresh thyme (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

In a very large skillet cook bulk pork sausage and chopped onion over medium-high heat until meat is brown and onion is tender, using a wooden spoon to break up meat as it cooks. Do not drain. Sprinkle all-purpose flour over meat mixture; stir into the meat mixture. Cook and stir over medium heat for 1 minute. While whisking, gradually add milk. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in snipped fresh thyme, if desired. Makes about 5 cups.
