Never tried the green pepper either... interesting addition. I've added a touch of sugar and garlic powder before, and I do mean a touch. It makes for a different flavor.

1 cup of flour to 1 pound of sausage? Whoa, that’s crazy. No offense.

I prefer to drain the grease and add just heavy cream (no flour) then simmer to reduce to desired thickness. Is delicious.

It’s the first thing our Kids /Grandkids say they want me to make, when they visit. 2nd is batter fried fish. Grandpa isn’t such a healthy cook but everyone eats well.

Sometimes I have to cook the onion/green pepper with the sausage, so it’s cooked down…..other times I like to add them just before the milk so they still have a crunch and that fresh taste.

Way too much flour for me. With 1lb sausage, I generally use 1/4 cup flour and 3 cups milk.

Won’t know unless you try it.

I’ve been eating it this way for 20 yrs. Nobody has ever complained that the flour to milk ratio is off.

Not saying it’s the best recipe but surely the best I’ve ever had.
