Ingredients

  • 1 lb breakfast sausage
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Biscuits (Pillsbury Grands frozen biscuits recommended)

Instructions

  • Cook the Sausage – In a large pan over medium heat, brown the sausage, breaking it into crumbles. Do not drain the grease.
  • Add the Flour – Stir in 1/4 cup of flour until fully incorporated, with no white flour visible.
  • Pour in the Milk – Gradually add 2 cups of milk while stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
  • Season – Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Simmer – Let the mixture cook on medium heat until bubbling, then reduce heat to low. Allow it to simmer until the gravy thickens.
  • Prepare Biscuits – While the gravy thickens, bake the frozen biscuits according to package instructions.
  • Serve – Spoon the sausage gravy over hot biscuits and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a spicier version, use hot sausage or add cayenne pepper.
  • If the gravy is too thick, add a splash of milk to adjust consistency.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on low heat with a bit of milk to loosen the gravy.
  • To freeze, cool the gravy completely and store it in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
