Introduction
Sausage Gravy Noodles is a cozy, creamy comfort dish that mixes rich country-style sausage gravy with soft noodles. It’s hearty, filling, and perfect for a quick family dinner when you want something warm and satisfying.
Ingredients
300g ground breakfast sausage
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or more to taste)
Salt to taste
250g egg noodles (or any pasta you like)
Instructions
Cook the noodles in salted boiling water until tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large pan, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Do not drain all the fat (it adds flavor).
Add butter to the pan and let it melt. Stir in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to form a light roux.
Slowly pour in the milk while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add the cooked noodles into the gravy and stir until everything is fully coated and creamy.
Method
The method is based on building a simple sausage gravy first, then turning it into a creamy pasta-style dish by combining it with noodles. The key is slow milk addition and constant stirring for a smooth texture.
History
Sausage gravy comes from Southern American cooking, especially “biscuits and gravy,” a classic farmhouse breakfast. Over time, people started mixing the gravy with pasta or noodles to turn it into a full dinner meal, making it more filling and budget-friendly.
