Description

Ingredients
•
1 (16 ounce) package Jimmy Dean® Premium Pork Regular Sausage
•
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
•
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
•
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
•
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
•
1 cup chicken stock
•
3 1/2 cups whole milk, or more as needed
•
salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
•
2 dashes hot pepper sauce
Directions
1
Add sausage to a large skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir with a spatula, breaking apart the sausage until cooked and starting to crisp, 5 to 7 minutes.
2
Add butter, onion powder, and garlic powder; stir until butter is melted.
3
Sprinkle flour over sausage and butter and stir until combined. Reduce heat slightly and cook until thick, 1 to 2 minutes.
4
Pour in chicken stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer until stock is absorbed and mixture is thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in milk until gravy is hot and bubbly.
5
Season to taste with salt and lots of freshly cracked pepper. If gravy becomes too thick, thin out with more milk.
