Ingredients
- 1 pound (454 g) sweet Italian pork sausage, casings removed
- 2 tablespoons (30 g) unsalted butter
- ½ cup (30 g) finely minced yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon (10 g) minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon (1 g) chopped thyme
- ¼ cup (32 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon (3 g) kosher salt
- ½ teaspoons black pepper
- 3 cups (720 ml) whole milk
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage - Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and break into smaller pieces using a spoon. Cook until no longer pink and lightly browned, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Cook the Aromatics - Melt the butter in the pan. Add the onions, garlic, and thyme. Cook until fragrant and tender, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the Flour - Sprinkle the flour, salt, and pepper over the sausage mixture. Stir and cook until the flour is absorbed, 2 minutes.
- Simmer the Gravy - Slowly stir in the milk. Increase the heat to medium-high to bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and stir occasionally until the gravy is thick and can coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired.
- To Serve - Serve with biscuits split in half with sausage gravy on top or other desired foods.
