Sausage Gravy

Ingredients

• 1 pound spicy sausage
• ¼ cups flour
• 5 cups milk
• salt , to taste
• pepper , to taste
• Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning , to taste (optional)

Optional Rue Ingredients

• ¼ cups butter
• ¼ cups flour

Optional Rue Instructions

1. Brown the sausage over medium heat, crumpling it into 1/4-1/2" bits. Do not drain.
2. Once the sausage is browned, reduce heat to low and sprinkle in the flour. Stir it into the grease and sausage until a rue forms.
3. Optionally, make a rue in a separate pan. You can add this to the sausage rue for a thicker gravy.
4. Slowly add milk, a little at a time while stirring continuously. You want the milk to thicken a bit before adding more.
5. Add as much milk as you need to match the sausage amount.
6. Season to taste, we prefer Tony's for a bit of spice!
