Sausage Gravy – The Ultimate Southern Breakfast
This sausage gravy is a true Southern classic. The magic of this recipe comes from using the natural fats of the breakfast sausage to make a rich, savory roux, which then transforms the milk into a silky, flavorful gravy. Hearty, peppery, and comforting—it’s perfect spooned over warm, split biscuits on a slow morning.
