This Bob Evans Sausage Gravy Recipe delivers rich flavor with pork sausage, milk, flour, butter, and simple seasoning for a cozy breakfast.
Equipment
- Large skillet or sauté pan
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons.
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork breakfast sausage
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper adjust to taste
- ½ teaspoon salt start small and adjust
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder optional but recommended
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat
- Add the sausage and cook, breaking it into small crumbles
- Cook until fully browned and slightly caramelized, about 8–10 minutes
- Do not drain the fat — this is essential for flavor
Once the sausage is cooked:
- Add the butter directly to the pan and let it melt
- Sprinkle the flour evenly over the sausage
- Stir constantly and cook for about 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste
Now build the gravy:
- Slowly pour in the milk while whisking or stirring continuously
- Keep stirring as the gravy thickens to prevent lumps
- Lower the heat to medium-low
- Simmer gently for 5–7 minutes, stirring often
Finish with seasoning:
- Add black pepper, salt, and garlic powder if using
- Taste and adjust seasoning
- Serve hot over warm biscuits
