Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large skillet over medium heat, I start by browning the breakfast sausage. You want to crumble it up nicely as it cooks, allowing all those savory juices to coat the pan. Once browned, sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir well to combine. This forms what’s called a roux, which will give your gravy a delicious thickness. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
