1lbItalian sausage or sausage roll, mild or your favorite flavor (make sure to use uncooked ground sausage)
⅓cupall-purpose flour
2.5cupsmilkany kind, I use 2%
1-3teaspoonsground black pepperoptional, to taste (3 teaspoons makes for a really spicy gravy!)
Instructions
In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium high heat until there’s no pink left, stirring and breaking up the sausage into smaller crumbles.
1 lb Italian sausage
Once the sausage is cooked, sprinkle the flour over the sausage. You want to make sure the flour soaks up all of the oil. Once the flour has soaked up the oil, allow it to cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
Slowly pour the milk into the skillet, mixing until everything is combined.
2.5 cups milk
Add pepper, to taste, if using.
Turn your heat to low and allow the gravy to bubble. Once the gravy has bubbled, turn off the heat. The gravy will continue to thicken, so stir it for another few minutes. Serve hot!

Notes
Leftover gravy can be stored in a closed container in the fridge for up to 1 week. It will thicken more as it cools and some liquid might separate out, so stir it back together and add 1 tablespoon milk at a time until you get a desired consistency. Reheat in a skillet or in the microwave.Read the blog post for lots of ideas for how to use leftover sausage gravy in other dishes!
