Simple Sausage Gravy

Ingredients

1 (16 oz) package of ground pork sausage

3 Tablespoons butter

4 Tablespoons flour

3 cups whole milk

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Cook sausage in large skillet. Breaking it up into pieces as it cooks. After cooked through, remove sausage with slotted spoon, set aside.

2. Reserve drippings. I had very little drippings (maybe 1 Tablespoon), so I added 3 Tablespoons of butter. Reduce the amount of butter if you have more reserved drippings in your pan.

3. Add flour to melted butter and whisk. Keep whisking until it turns a golden brown (you're making a roux).

4. Keep whisking and pour in the milk. Whisk away any lumps. Return sausage to skillet. Simmer gravy until thickened.

5. Serve over biscuits or toasts or potatoes.
