Ingredients

1 pound ground pork sausage, or breakfast sausage
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon Kosher salt, more to taste
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, optional
2 ¾ cups half and half
2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

Heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the 1 pound ground pork sausage, and cook until no longer pink and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the ⅓ cup all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon Kosher salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, if using, over the cooked sausage. Stir and cook for 1 minute until the flour is absorbed.
Slowly whisk in the 2 ¾ cups half and half, then increase the heat to medium-high to bring it to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low. Simmer and stir occasionally until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon. If the sauce is too thick, add more half-and-half or milk. Add the milk 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency. Whisk the 2 tablespoons butter into the gravy. This gives it a rich, velvety finish!
Taste the gravy and season with salt and pepper if needed. Serve over biscuits, rice, or mashed potatoes!
