Poblano Sausage Gravy is a southern classic with a pepper twist. Make it ahead and serve it anytime you need some comfort to start your day.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage
  • 2 poblano peppers, roasted, peeled, and diced
  • 1 small onion (yellow or white), small dice
  • 2 small garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups milk, plus more as needed
  • kosher salt

Optional Garnish

  • red pepper flakes
  • cilantro
  • avocado

Instructions

  1. Blacken the poblano pepper under a broiler, on a grill, in a cast iron skillet or on a gas range.
  2. Place the blackened poblano in a bowl and cover it with a towel or plastic wrap and let it steam a few minutes to make peeling easier.
  3. Remove the blackened skin from the poblano (with a paper towel or the spine side of your knife), remove the seeds and dice. Set aside
  4. In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat.
  5. Add the onion to the sausage as soon as the sausage begins to cook.
  6. Continue cooking the sausage, breaking it up with a spatula or wooden spoon.
  7. Add the minced garlic just before the sausage is browned and fully cooked.
  8. Sprinkle the flour over the sausage with the fat that has rendered from the sausage and cook for about 2 minutes over medium heat.
  9. Whisk in the milk and continue to cook until the gravy thickens.
  10. Stir the diced poblano into the gravy.
  11. Taste and season, if needed, with kosher salt.
  12. Serve over homemade biscuits.
  13. Garnish with red pepper flakes, cilantro, and sliced avocado, if desired.

Notes

This gravy will need very little if any seasoning as the breakfast sausage seasons it nicely.
