What is Country Gravy?

It is a white gravy recipe using the same ingredients as a classic country gravy - butter, flour, milk, and seasoning - in addition to sausage. It is a classic southern breakfast recipe generally served over biscuits, also known as biscuits and gravy.

My sausage gravy recipe consists of breakfast sausage, butter, flour, maple syrup, milk, steak seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper, and red pepper flakes (optional).

How to Make Country Gravy

1. Add sage sausage to a large skillet over high heat on the stove, or to your Instant Pot set to saute mode. Break up and cook the sausage until browned.
2. Stir in butter and mix well until it melts. Then, add flour and stir until you can't see the flour anymore.
3. Gradually add milk and stir well. Let it cook a minute or two before adding more milk. When adding more milk, add it slowly and while stirring.
4. Let it cook another minute or so before adding maple syrup, salt and pepper, steak seasoning, and garlic powder.
5. Allow it to bubble and thicken until it reduces into a gravy. When it sticks to the back of your spoon and is nice and thick, you know it's ready. Optionally, season with red pepper flakes.
