Ingredients

1 pound Breakfast sausage
2 cups Milk (or half milk, half cream)

1
Prepare the biscuits according to the package instructions and bake until golden brown; set aside to keep warm.

3
Break up the sausage with a spatula as it browns, cooking until no pink remains.

Remove the cooked sausage from the pan and set aside on a plate.
5
Drain all but about 1/4 cup of the fat from the skillet; remove the pan from the heat.
6
Stir the flour into the remaining fat in the skillet to form a smooth paste.
7
Gradually add the milk to the flour mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
8
Return the skillet to medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens and becomes smooth.
9
Return the cooked sausage to the gravy, reduce heat to low, and simmer for a few minutes to blend flavors.

Note

Serve with scrambled eggs, fried eggs, or hash browns for a complete breakfast.

For a richer gravy, use half milk and half heavy cream instead of all milk.

If you prefer a thicker gravy, add a little more flour; for a thinner consistency, add a splash more milk.

Leftover gravy can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of milk if it thickens too much.
