Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
  • 1/2 (1-pound) package Jimmy Dean Premium Pork Sausage
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon sliced green onions, or to taste

Directions

Step 1
In a small frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat for about 30 seconds. Add Jimmy Dean sausage and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until browned, stirring frequently to break up the sausage into small pieces, then drain.

Step 2
Add flour and mix well with the sausage. Reduce heat to medium and add 1 cup of milk, stirring to prevent any flour lumps. Add the remaining milk and the salt and pepper. Bring heat up to medium-high for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sauce bubbles up to the top of the pan (do not allow it to boil over).

Step 3
Reduce heat to medium-low, stirring the sauce frequently until it thickens, about 5 minutes.

Step 4
Serve over cooked grits or biscuits, and top with green onions.

Cook’s Notes:

Use the leftover Jimmy Dean Sausage to make sausage patties or crumbles to serve with eggs.
