Pioneer Woman Sausage Gravy

Ingredients:

• 1 lb breakfast sausage (preferably mild or spicy, depending on your preference)
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 cups whole milk (more if needed)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
• Biscuits (store-bought or homemade) for serving

Instructions:

1. Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet, crumble and cook the sausage over medium heat. Stir occasionally to break it up into small pieces. Cook until the sausage is browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes.
2. Make the Roux: Once the sausage is cooked, sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to combine. Let the flour cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste. This is your roux.
3. Add the Milk: Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens to a gravy-like consistency, about 5-7 minutes. If the gravy is too thick, add a bit more milk to reach your desired consistency.
4. Season: Season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
5. Serve: Spoon the sausage gravy over warm biscuits and enjoy!

This sausage gravy is rich, creamy, and perfect for topping fluffy biscuits for a hearty breakfast or brunch. Enjoy!
