3. Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt.
4. Sprinkle the flour over the drippings and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes, until the mixture is golden brown.
5. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
6. Add the black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder, stirring well.
7. Continue to cook the gravy for about 5-10 minutes, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
8. Stir the cooked sausage back into the gravy and serve hot over pork chops or biscuits.
