Ingredients
- 1 lb pork sausage
- 3 Tablespoon butter unsalted
- ¼ cup All-purpose flour
- 3 cups milk
- 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon fresh chopped sage
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- Biscuits for serving
Instructions
- Heat a large, heavy bottom skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the pork sausage and cook until it’s completely browned. Be sure to break up the sausage with a wooden spoon while cooking it.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, stir in the all-purpose flour until it combines with the sausage fat completely.
- Next, slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for 10 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally.
- Add maple syrup, salt, black pepper, sage, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Notes
- I suggest using a heavy-bottom skillet to the milk doesn’t scorch the bottom.
- Leave the maple syrup out if you like a more savory gravy.
