Simply Delicious Sausage Gravy

Simply Delicious Sausage Gravy

Ingredients:

• 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk or half & half, heavy whipping cream, evaporated milk – pretty much any dairy product ;)
• Black pepper to taste – I use lots of cracked black pepper
• pinch of sugar {cause that’s what my Nana used!}

Directions:

• Brown sausage. Season liberally with black pepper. 
• Sprinkle flour over the cooked sausage and stir. 
• Let flour cook for 1-2 minutes and then gradually add milk, stirring as you pour. 
•  Bring gravy to a simmer and let thicken. 
• This is where my Nana adds a pinch of sugar and so do I. She told me that it helps the gravy brown and I guess that makes sense because the sugar is caramelizing.
