To prepare the gravy, you will typically start by cooking crumbled sausage in a skillet until browned. After draining off most of the grease, you would then add a measured amount of milk to the skillet. Gradually whisk in the sausage gravy mix, ensuring it is fully incorporated. Continue to cook and stir the mixture over medium heat until it thickens to your desired consistency. This process usually takes only a few minutes once the milk is added.
