Pioneer woman sausage gravy

Here’s a classic sausage gravy recipe inspired by Pioneer Woman:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound breakfast sausage (bulk, not in casings)
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Drain off excess fat if necessary.
2. Add Flour: Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir well. Continue to cook for about 1-2 minutes, allowing the flour to cook and combine with the sausage, creating a roux.
3. Add Milk: Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens and reaches your desired consistency.
4. Season: Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
5. Serve: Serve the sausage gravy over biscuits, toast, or any other preferred breakfast item.

Enjoy your hearty and flavorful sausage gravy!
