Ingredients
  

  • 1 & 1/2 lbs ground breakfast sausage - whichever kind you prefer is fine
  • 1 tsp chicken bouillon powder
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour

Equipment

  • Instant Pot or similar pressure cooker with saute mode
  • Hamburger chopper tool or wooden spoon
  • Measuring jug
  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring cup and spoon
  • Whisk
  • Ladle for serving

Method
 

  1. Turn your Instant Pot to saute mode. Add the ground sausage and cook until golden brown and cooked through. Switch saute mode off.
  2. Add the bouillon powder and water. Use your wooden spoon or grinder tool to scrape up all the browned bits from the bottom as they add lots of flavor.
  3. Place the lid on and set to HIGH pressure for 5 minutes. Finish with a QUICK release.
  4. While it cooks, whisk together the milk and flour in a bowl until no lumps remain.
  5. When the pressure has released, remove the lid and switch back to saute mode.
  6. Slowly pour in the milk and flour mixture while whisking.
  7. Allow the gravy to simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until thickened. Stir occasionally to keep it smooth. Switch off the heat when it reaches your preferred consistency.
  8. Ladle over warm biscuits for a hearty breakfast or dinner.

Notes

  • No added salt or pepper needed since sausage is naturally well seasoned and the chicken bouillon adds flavor too.
  • Whole milk gives the creamiest gravy but any milk works.
  • Deglazing the pot makes a huge difference in flavour.
 

Storage

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave with a splash of milk to loosen it.
  • Can be frozen for up to one month but texture may change slightly.
