Ingredients

Ground sausage

All-purpose flour
1/4 cup
Milk
2 cups
Black pepper
1 teaspoon, or to taste
Salt
1/2 teaspoon, or to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, cook the ground sausage over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle the flour evenly over the cooked sausage and stir well to combine, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes to brown the flour slightly.
  3. Gradually pour in the milk while stirring constantly to avoid lumps, and continue to cook until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency, about 5 minutes.
