  2. Brown the breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles.
  3. Sprinkle in the flour and stir for 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Slowly whisk in the milk until the gravy is smooth.
  5. Season the sausage gravy with black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.

Notes

  • Serve immediately for the crispiest tots.
  • Add extra milk if the gravy thickens too much.
  • Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-shredded.
  • Great for brunch, breakfast-for-dinner, or meal prep components stored separately.
