Ingredients

Instructions

  • Bake biscuits according to package directions.
  • Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium-high heat, cook sausage while chopping it up into small pieces until browned and cooked through. (Do not drain excess fat from the sausage—it helps bring the flour and milk together.)
  • Once sausage is cooked through, carefully stir in flour ½ cup at a time until sausage has a nice coating.
  • Slowly add milk until you have reached your desired consistency. If you prefer a more runny gravy, add more milk. If you like the gravy to be thicker, add less milk. If you find you have added too much milk, add some flour to thicken it up.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve gravy immediately over warm biscuits.

Notes

Variations:
  • Replace the biscuits with rice, corn bread, toast, or Mashed Potatoes.
  • Try adding mushrooms, bell peppers or cooked bacon bits to change up the flavor.
Store baked biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. They can also be wrapped in plastic, placed together in a freezer Ziploc and frozen for 3 months. 
Store leftover gravy in a separate container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat it in the microwave or in a saucepan on the stovetop until it reaches your desired temperature.
