Ingredients
  

1 pound breakfast sausage (bulk or casings removed)

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 cups whole milk (or more for desired consistency)

1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

1/2 teaspoon black pepper (freshly cracked)

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Cooked biscuits (for serving)

Instructions
 

Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble the sausage and cook until it's browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Stir occasionally to break it into smaller pieces.

    Add Flour: Once the sausage is browned, sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage. Stir well to combine and let it cook for about 2 minutes to create a roux, which will help thicken the gravy.

      Pour in the Milk: Gradually pour in the milk while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Keep stirring until the mixture is smooth.

        Season the Gravy: Add salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and garlic powder (if using). Continue to whisk and bring the gravy to a simmer. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.

          Taste and Adjust: Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed. If it's too thick, you can add more milk to reach your preferred consistency.

            Serve: Serve hot over cooked biscuits and enjoy!
