Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • Fresh parsley for garnish optional

For serving:

  • 4 –6 warm biscuits

Instructions
  

Cook the Sausage

  • Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage and cook slowly. Break it into small pieces while cooking. The sausage should turn brown and slightly crispy.

Keep the Sausage Drippings

  • Do not drain all the grease. The sausage drippings add rich flavor to the gravy. Leave about two tablespoons in the skillet.

Add the Flour

  • Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon. Cook the flour for about one minute to remove the raw taste.

Pour in the Milk

  • Slowly pour milk into the skillet while whisking. Whisking prevents lumps and creates a smooth gravy texture.

Stir Until Thick

  • Keep stirring the mixture as it heats. The gravy will slowly become thick and creamy. This usually takes about five minutes.

Add Seasonings

  • Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Stir well so the flavors spread evenly through the gravy.

Simmer the Gravy

  • Lower the heat slightly and allow the gravy to simmer for three minutes. This helps the flavors blend and makes the texture richer.

Adjust the Texture

  • If the gravy becomes too thick, add a small splash of milk. Stir well until it reaches your preferred consistency.

Taste and Adjust

  • Taste the gravy before serving. Add a little more pepper or salt if needed. Small adjustments can make the flavor perfect.

Serve Over Biscuits

  • Place warm biscuits on a plate and spoon the gravy generously on top. This step completes how to make Bob Evans Sausage Gravy.

Notes

  • Use spicy sausage for extra flavor.
  • Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for gentle heat.
  • Use half-and-half instead of milk for richer gravy.
  • Stir constantly while adding milk to avoid lumps.
  • Add cooked bacon bits for smoky flavor.
  • Serve with scrambled eggs for a complete breakfast.
