I wasn’t a fan of breakfast gravy until I tasted my husband’s recipe. Making a sausage gravy or breakfast gravy at home is super easy. You really need only four ingredients and the whole process will take you all of twenty minutes from start to finish. Throw in some buttermilk biscuits and you’ve got yourself breakfast in under thirty minutes that your family will devour!

How to Make Sausage Breakfast Gravy

Here is a brief overview of how this homemade breakfast gravy with sausage comes together. This easy method comes together right in one pan for easy serving and clean up. For the full recipe including all measurements, scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

1. Cook sausage. Break up and brown your pork sausage in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through. I recommend leaving the grease – it adds flavor!
2. Add flour to the skillet with cooked sausage. The flour is what allows your gravy to thicken. Stir to combine and cook for a few minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste.
3. Add the milk. I like to use whole milk for extra creamy gravy. Continue to whisk the mixture while it cooks until the gravy thickens.
4. Season. I used about ½ teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of coarse black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Homemade Biscuits for Breakfast Gravy

What’s creamy sausage breakfast gravy without some warm buttermilk biscuits to drown it in? These homemade buttermilk biscuits are made with simple ingredients and come together in less than 30 minutes. They are perfect for this sausage gravy and my favorite way to enjoy this cozy and filling breakfast.

Variations and Tips

• Use seasoned sausage. You can either buy pork sausage that has been seasoned or add your own herbs. If your family doesn’t eat pork, you can use turkey sausage instead.
• Add red pepper flake . Want a little spice? Add in a pinch of red pepper flake.
• Adjust the consistency. This recipe creates a thicker gravy, which I love. If you prefer a thinner gravy, add more milk until you reach your desired consistency.

Storing and Reheating Leftovers

Store any leftover sausage gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat the leftover gravy in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave until heated through. You may need to add a little milk to thin the gravy when reheating. Enjoy with leftover or fresh biscuits.
