Ingredients

1 pound bulk pork breakfast sausage
1 small white or yellow onion finely diced
2 Tbsp. butter
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups half and half
2 cups whole milk
½ teaspoon Lawry's seasoned salt
½ tsp. kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
couple dashes tabasco or hot sauce optional

Instructions

In a large non stick skillet, add the breakfast sausage and the diced onion. Cook over medium heat, crumbling the sausage and stirring occasionally until the onion is softened and the sausage is nicely browned.
1 pound bulk pork breakfast sausage, 1 small white or yellow onion
Reduce the heat to low. Add the 2 Tbsp. of butter and stir until it is just melted. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and cook and stir over low heat for 2 minutes.
2 Tbsp. butter, ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
Add in the seasoned salt, kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and stir to incorporate
½ teaspoon Lawry's seasoned salt, ½ tsp. kosher salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 1 tsp. garlic powder, 1 tsp. onion powder
Turn the heat back up to medium and gradually pour in the half and half and milk while whisking or stirring vigorously to prevent lumps.
1 ½ cups half and half, 2 cups whole milk
Bring to a gentle simmer, turn the heat down to low and let cook for about 3-5 minutes until nicely thickened (if it gets too thick you can add a tablespoon or 2 of milk until it reaches the desired consistency).
Add the tabasco if using and taste for additional seasonings (salt/pepper)
couple dashes tabasco or hot sauce
Serve immediately over your favorite flaky biscuits.

Notes

Use the breakfast sausage flavor and brand your family loves.

Flour is considered a raw ingredient so make sure you let it cook in the pan for about 1-2 minutes.

Whisk the gravy really well when adding the milk to prevent lumps.

Taste before serving to see if you want additional seasoning or extra hot sauce.

The gravy will thicken as it sits and cools. To reheat add another ¼-1/2 cup of milk and stir while heating over low heat.
