🧾 Ingredients – Southern Style Sausage & Gravy
1 lb breakfast sausage
2–3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2-3 tablespoons oil or reserved sausage grease
1 can condensed milk
Water (to thin gravy as needed)
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste

🥣 Southern Sausage Gravy (Beginner-Friendly Directions)
Don’t worry—this recipe is very forgiving. Just go slow and stir often.

Cook the sausage
Put a skillet on medium heat. Add the sausage and cook it, breaking it up with a fork, until it’s fully browned and no pink is left. Remove the meat.

Check the grease
Leave the grease in the pan. If the pan looks dry, add 2-3 tablespoons of oil.

Add the flour
Sprinkle the flour. Cook until you see the flour starting to brown. This helps thicken the gravy.

Pour in the condensed milk slowly
Turn the heat to medium-low. Slowly pour in the condensed milk while stirring the whole time. Stirring prevents lumps.

Add water little by little
Add a small splash of water, stir, then check the thickness. Keep adding a little at a time until the gravy looks thick but pourable. Add the meat back in.

Season the gravy
Add salt and black pepper. Start small—you can always add more.

Let it simmer
Let the gravy gently cook on low heat for 5–10 minutes, stirring often so it doesn’t stick.

Serve and enjoy
When the gravy is thick and creamy, turn off the heat and spoon it over hot biscuits.
