Instructions

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook ground pork until it's fully cooked and reaches your desired level of doneness, which should take around 8-15 minutes.

Mix the butter into the pork until it is completely melted and absorbed.

Coat the pork completely by sprinkling flour and stirring it in.

Pour 3 cups of milk into the mixture and let it simmer for 8 minutes until it thickens. If you want to make more "gravy," you can add more milk as needed.

Season with salt and pepper as desired.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Brown Your Sausage Thoroughly 🍖
Break the sausage into small, uniform pieces and cook until deeply browned (not just gray) to develop rich, savory flavor that becomes the gravy's foundation.
Make a Perfect Roux Ratio 🥄
Use equal parts butter and flour (typically 3 tablespoons each) to create a smooth, lump-free roux that thickens without becoming gluey or breaking.
Temper Your Milk Gradually 🥛
Add cold milk slowly to your hot roux while whisking constantly to prevent lumps; adding it too quickly will create an uneven, chunky gravy.
Season in Layers, Not All at Once 🧂
Add salt and pepper incrementally throughout cooking rather than at the end, allowing flavors to develop and preventing over-salting as the gravy reduces.
Don't Overcook After Thickening ⏱️
Once the gravy reaches desired thickness, remove from heat immediately to prevent the milk from breaking and the gravy from becoming separated or grainy.
