Quick Sage Sausage Gravy
Quick Sage Sausage Gravy has crispy savory sausage bathed in a creamy, herby sauce. It comes together in just minutes and is perfect over biscuits!
Ingredients
- 1 pound sage pork sausage (I use Jimmy Dean Sage Sausage)
- 3 Tbsp butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp sage
- 1/4 cup AP flour
- 3 cups milk or half and half (don’t use skim)
- 1/2 Tbsp fresh thyme (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, break up the sausage and cook through until nicely browned and crumbly
- Stir in the butter until completely melted
- Stir in the salt, pepper and sage
- Sprinkle the flour all over the sausage, stir in and allow to cook for a couple of minutes
- Pour in the milk and stir until bubbling and thickened
- Add additional salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Stir in the fresh thyme
- Serve over your favorite biscuits!
Notes
A couple of tips for this recipe:
- Use whole milk or half and half for the creamiest gravy – you can use 2% in a pinch, but don’t use skim!
- I use sage sausage for this – if you don’t use sausage that is already flavored, you will need to add some additional ground sage – I would add at least 2 tsp.
- If you want to take this gravy over the top, stir in 1/2 Tbsp of fresh thyme at the end – the fresh, herby taste is wonderful. I keep fresh herbs in the house, so I always have this on hand and love stirring it in, however, the gravy is absolutely delicious without it too.
- If the gravy gets too thick, (or when reheating), just add a couple of splashes of milk to thin it out a little.
