Ingredients
1 pound pork breakfast sausage
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 freshly baked biscuits (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the pork sausage, breaking it into crumbles with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and fully done, about 7–10 minutes.
2. Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir constantly to create a roux. Let it cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Gradually whisk in the milk. Stir continuously to avoid lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer.
4. Continue stirring until the gravy thickens to your preferred consistency, about 5–8 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
5. While the gravy cooks, prepare biscuits according to package directions or your homemade recipe.
6. Split the warm biscuits in half and spoon the sausage gravy over them generously. Serve hot and garnish with extra pepper if desired.
Notes
Use whole milk for a rich, creamy texture in your gravy.
If gravy thickens too much when reheating, stir in a little milk to loosen it up.
You can swap pork sausage with chicken or turkey sausage for a lighter version.
