Ingredients
1 pound breakfast sausage
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
8 fresh biscuits (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked. Do not drain the fat.
2. Sprinkle flour evenly over the sausage. Stir and cook for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
3. Slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
4. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens into a creamy gravy.
5. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.
6. Let the gravy simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring often. Add more milk if it gets too thick.
7. Meanwhile, prepare your biscuits according to package or recipe directions.
8. Serve the biscuits hot, split open and generously topped with the sausage gravy.
Notes
If the gravy thickens too much while sitting, add a splash of milk while reheating.
For a lighter option, use turkey sausage and unsweetened almond milk.
Use fresh, warm biscuits for the best texture and flavor.
