skye's sausage gravy

• 1 lb ground sausage (pork, turkey or chicken... regular or breakfast style. I like a mild or breakfast pork sausage)
• 2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes
• 1 salt & pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp flour (I like "wonder" gravy flour... it is a very fine flour and blends quickly)
• 1 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2% work best)

1. in a non-stick skillet on medium heat... fry your ground sausage with your spices until browned and fully cooked.
2. drain grease all but about 2 tablespoons.
3. sprinkle the flour over the sausage... stirring constantly so that it doesn't stick ... until absorbed and you can smell a lovely "nutty" scent.
4. slowly stir in your milk... turn down the heat to low and allow to simmer with a lid on for a few minutes.
5. if your gravy is too thick.
6. .. thin it with a little more milk or water... adding only a tablespoon or so at a time.
7. if it is too thin... just add a little bit of flour only a teaspoon at a time.
8. .. stirring well in between each addition giving it time to be absorbed.
9. serve over biscuits, cornbread, or even noodles.
