To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

Dish

The Medium Deep Dish

Ingredients

  • 4 oz (115g) bulk pork breakfast sausage, or plant-based alternative
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ cup (120 ml) whole milk
  • ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream

Preparation

  1. Add the sausage and all other ingredients to an Anyday dish. Use a fork to mix well, ensuring the sausage is evenly incorporated into the liquid to prevent clumping.
  2. Break the sausage into small, coarse pieces as you mix. This helps prevent large clumps from forming. Cover with the lid (knob lifted).
  3. Cover with the lid (knob lifted) and cook in the microwave for 3-4 minutes, stirring halfway to prevent the flour from settling at the bottom.
  4. For a thicker gravy, continue microwaving in 30-second intervals until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. The mixture will be foamy; whisk until a smooth gravy forms.
  5. Serve the gravy with biscuits, eggs, or your favorite dish.

Suggestions

  • Serve with biscuits: Pair the gravy with warm, flaky biscuits for a classic and comforting breakfast.
  • Top scrambled eggs: Drizzle sausage gravy over fluffy scrambled eggs for a rich, savory twist on breakfast.
  • Creamy zucchini pasta topping: Mix sausage gravy with cooked zucchini and toss with cooked pasta.
  • Loaded baked potato: Spoon sausage gravy over a fluffy baked potato and top with shredded cheese, chopped green onions, and a sprinkle of black pepper.
  • Try different bases: Spoon the gravy over toasted English muffins, grits, mashed potatoes, or a baked potato for a hearty meal.

Recipe Notes

  • Noticing some foaming? That’s just proteins from the sausage rising to the top—totally normal! Simply whisk it back in, and it will disappear.
  • Prefer to cook the sausage before adding the liquids? Follow the steps in How to Microwave Ground Beef, strain, and continue with the recipe.
  • The fat content makes this gravy rich and creamy—stick with whole milk and heavy cream for the best results. Using lower-fat options may lead to a thinner, less flavorful gravy.
  • Freeze portions in Anytime Freezer Trays for easy reheating whenever you need it.
  • Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattage. Adjust cooking times as needed.

All You Need to Know About Making Sausage Gravy in the Microwave

What is sausage gravy?

Sausage gravy is a rich, creamy sauce made with cooked breakfast sausage, flour, and milk or cream. It's a classic Southern dish typically served over biscuits but can also be enjoyed with eggs, toast, or even potatoes.

Can I make sausage gravy in the microwave?

Yes! Using an Anyday dish, you can quickly make sausage gravy in the microwave with minimal mess. The dish helps evenly cook the sausage while allowing the gravy to thicken properly.

How do I prevent my sausage gravy from being lumpy?

To achieve a smooth gravy, thoroughly mix the sausage with the liquid before cooking. This ensures the meat is evenly distributed and prevents clumps from forming. Stir halfway through cooking to keep the mixture well incorporated, and whisk at the end to create a creamy, lump-free texture.

Can I make this sausage gravy dairy-free?

Yes! Swap the whole milk and heavy cream for plant-based alternatives like oat milk or almond milk. Using a dairy-free butter substitute can also help maintain a creamy texture.

How long can I store leftover sausage gravy?

Store leftover sausage gravy in an Anyday dish with the lid on in the fridge for up to 4 days. For longer storage, portion it into an Anytime Freezer Tray and freeze for up to 3 months.

What’s the best way to reheat sausage gravy?

Reheat in an Anyday dish, covered with the lid, in the microwave on full power for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through. If the gravy thickens too much, add a splash of milk or cream and stir until smooth.

Can I use a plant-based sausage for this recipe?

Absolutely! A plant-based sausage alternative works well in this recipe. Just make sure it crumbles easily and has enough fat content to create a flavorful gravy.

What can I serve with sausage gravy?

Sausage gravy is traditionally served over biscuits, but it's also delicious with eggs, toast, hash browns, or even roasted vegetables.
