Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 2 dashes hot pepper sauce
• 1 (16 ounce) package Jimmy Dean® Premium Pork Regular Sausage
• salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.125 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
• 3.5 cups whole milk, or more as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 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.

Step 2

Add butter, onion powder, and garlic powder; stir until butter is melted.

Step 3

Sprinkle flour over sausage and butter and stir until combined. Reduce heat slightly and cook until thick, 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 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.

Step 5

Season to taste with salt and lots of freshly cracked pepper. If gravy becomes too thick, thin out with more milk.
