Ingredients

• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 5 slices bacon
• ¼ teaspoon ground paprika
• 1 pound breakfast pork sausage
• 2 cups half-and-half, or more as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Leave grease in the skillet.

Step 2

Heat the same skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot grease until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Do not drain off excess fat.

Step 3

Crumble the bacon and add it back to the sausage, along with the onion and garlic. Saute over medium heat until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add dried parsley. Add flour and stir until all the flour is incorporated with the fat. Slowly add 2 cups half-and-half to the mixture. Stir in pepper, salt, and paprika. Cook over medium heat until thick. If the sauce it too thick, add more half-and-half.
