Recipe type: Breakfast
Cuisine: Southern
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 lb. favorite breakfast sausage (We use Williams or Jimmy Dean)
  • 2-3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ tsp. garlic salt
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 4 to 6 cups of milk
Instructions
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat cook sausage until well done, crumble fine or leave a little lumpy to suit your own style of gravy.
  2. Add 2-3 tablespoons of flour stirring well to soak up pan drippings.
  3. Add Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Stir well over medium heat, mixing everything together.
  5. Start adding milk – a little at a time stirring as you go. You can add 4 to 6 cups milk depending on how much gravy you want to make.
  6. Turn heat down and let simmer on low. We simmer for about 1 hour to meld flavors together. During this time add milk as needed to keep gravy consistency. The longer you simmer the gravy the browner it will get. Keep adding milk to keep gravy texture.
  7. Serve over biscuits or try slicing some fresh garden tomatoes and top with gravy.
  8. You can stretch this recipe out adding more flour and more milk. The end result will be less sausage in the gravy but the flavor will be there.
Notes
* The garlic salt and Worcestershire sauce can be increased to suit your taste. Be sure and use a sausage that contains enough fat to give off some grease. Do not use a fat free or low fat sausage.
