A hearty and flavorful sausage gravy recipe with a touch of spice, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until it is no longer pink, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
Ensure the sausage is evenly crumbled for a consistent texture in the gravy.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until it becomes translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the onion from browning too much.
Drain excess fat from the skillet, leaving about 2 tablespoons.
Use a spoon to carefully remove the excess fat without discarding the flavorful bits.
Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and onion mixture, stirring well to coat evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Cooking the flour ensures the gravy has a smooth and rich flavor.
Gradually pour in the milk while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes.
Keep stirring to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
Season the gravy with nutmeg, poultry seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Stir well and adjust seasoning to taste.
Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning as needed for a balanced flavor.
Serve the gravy over warm biscuits or toast and enjoy.
Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
