Ingredients
1–2 pounds ground sausage
1.5 teaspoons butter
3 cups whole milk
3 tablespoons flour
Salt and pepper, to taste
6 cooked biscuits
Instructions
-
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook sausage, breaking it up until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat, leaving 1–2 tablespoons in skillet.
-
Add butter; melt. Sprinkle flour over sausage and fat, stirring constantly for 2 minutes to form a roux.
-
Gradually whisk in milk, stirring to prevent lumps. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until gravy thickens (5–7 minutes).
-
Season with salt and pepper. Adjust thickness with more milk if needed.
-
Warm biscuits.
-
Spoon hot gravy over biscuits and serve immediately.
Notes
Use spicy or turkey sausage for flavor variations.
Substitute buttermilk for tangier gravy.
Homemade or gluten-free biscuits work well.
Add sautéed onions or mushrooms for extra depth.
Freeze leftover gravy up to 2 months; reheat gently with milk.
