How To Make

Full directions for this instant pot sausage gravy are in the printable recipe card below.

Saute Ground Sausage | Start by turning the Instant Pot to the saute feature. Then cook your ground sausage until it is fully cooked.

Broth| Once meat is cooked pour in your broth. Place lid on and set to sealing and cook as directed.

Flour Mixture | Mix your milk and flour together in a bowl as your gravy mixture cooks. Then you will stir it into the mixture once you remove the lid.

Biscuits | Cook your biscuits as directed to the package or your homemade version.

Assemble | Serve up your biscuits with gravy and enjoy.

Storing Leftovers

You can store leftover sausage gravy in an airtight container. It will store in the fridge for 2-3 days. Just reheat in the microwave or on the stove on low heat.

When you reheat if you find the gravy is too thick simply add a splash of milk to help thin it up again. Then it will just need stirred and you are ready to serve up your warm gravy.

Make sure to occasionally stir, making sure you do not burn your gravy. Then pair with the biscuits.

Supplies Used to Make Gravy

Ladle spoon rest | Use this spoon rest every time you cook to save on countertop messes.
Silicone soup ladle for non-stick cookware | A silicone soup ladle is the perfect ladle to use for scooping up gravy onto your biscuits. Using silicone utensils is necessary when cooking on any non-stick pan or for the Instant Pot nonstick inner pot.
Silicone whisk set | Use this silicone whisk set right in your nonstick pots! Silicone is gentle on pans and doesn't scratch.

Recipe FAQs

Can I freeze sausage gravy?

The gravy isn't the best to be frozen and thawed due to the dairy in the recipe. You will find it can curdle a bit once you thaw it out and need to be reheated.
However, you can certainly save it in the refrigerator and reheat it. I use these reusable freezer-safe meal prep containers that work great for storing food in the refrigerator or freezer.

How to thicken sausage gravy?

The flour mixture you stir in once the sausage is cooked is what thickens your gravy.
If you want it thicker allow it to cook a bit on the sauté mode and it will cook down more and thicken as you keep it going. Stir often or it will burn.

Can you make sausage gravy with water instead of milk?

If you do not want to use milk you will find that water can work but it will change the flavor quite a bit. Making it blander. I recommend using half water and half chicken stock.

How many carbs in sausage gravy?

Notes

Also, you should check first if your dog is allergic to milk or flour before sharing any of this recipe. Still, any of these items is unlikely to cause a problem as long as your dog does not have an underlying health issue.
Can my cat eat Sausage Gravy? Although cats are obligate carnivores and love all kinds of meat it's not really recommended that you give sausage to your cat. Processed meat such as sausage is not safe for cats. This is because they contain salt, sulfites, and nitrate, which are hard for a cat to digest.
