Description

A creamy, savory breakfast staple made with halal sausage drippings, flour, and milk. This easy recipe delivers a rich, hearty gravy perfect for warm buttermilk biscuits, blending comforting flavors and nostalgic simplicity.


Ingredients

Scale

1 lb halal breakfast sausage (beef or turkey-based) – fully cooked and crumbled
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk or 2% milk
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Buttermilk biscuits (for serving)


Instructions

Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, 8-10 minutes.
With a slotted spoon, remove sausage crumbles to a plate, leaving drippings in the skillet.
Add butter to drippings and stir until melted.
Whisk in flour, cooking for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Gradually pour in milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
Bring to a simmer, cooking until thickened, 5-7 minutes.
Stir in cooked sausage, salt, and pepper.
Reduce heat and simmer gently for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use fully cooked halal sausage to avoid undercooking. Adjust salt to taste. Thickening consistency depends on simmer time. Leftover gravy can be refrigerated for 3-4 days.
