Ingredients For sausage gravy

  • 12 oz
    jimmy dean breakfast sausage (or your favorite sausage)
  • 1-2 Tbsp
    bacon fat (may not be needed
  • 3 Tbsp
    flour
  • 2 c
    milk more or less
  • salt and pepper to taste

How To Make sausage gravy

  • 1
    In a large skillet cook sausage over medium heat until browned and crumbly. Remove meat from pan.
  • 2
    Add 2 Tbsp bacon drippings to skillet and stir until melted. Add flour to skillet and stir until the meat is coated and flour incorporated into all and the mixture becomes fragrant (a little nutty), about 3 minutes. NOTE: If you have fatty sausage, you won't need the bacon fat. Some sausage is fairly lean, so you may need to add it in.
  • 3
    Add milk until desired consistency. Add salt & pepper to taste. Add the sausage back in and stir well. Serve over biscuits, toast, waffles, etc.
  • Last Step: Don't forget to share! Make all your friends drool by posting a picture of your finished recipe on your favorite social network. And don't forget to tag Just A Pinch and include #justapinchrecipes so we can see it too!
