Sausage Gravy

Ingredients

• 1 pound spicy sausage
• ¼ cup flour
• 5 cups milk
•  salt, to taste
•  pepper, to taste
•  Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning, to taste(optional)

Ingredients

• ¼ cup butter
• ¼ cup flour

Instructions

1. Brown the sausage over medium heat, crumpling it into 1/4-1/2" bits. Do not drain.

2. Once the sausage is browned, reduce heat to low and sprinkle in the flour. Stir it into the grease and sausage until a rue forms.

3. Optionally, make a rue in a separate pan. You can add this to the sausage rue for a thicker gravy.

4. Slowly add milk, a little at a time while stirring continuously. You want the milk to thicken a bit before adding more.

5. Add as much milk as you need to match the sausage amount.

6. Season to taste, we prefer Tony's for a bit of spice!
