Ingredients
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 tsp salt (to taste)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper (to taste)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 8 biscuits (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spoon as it browns.
- Once cooked through, do not drain the fat—it helps flavor the gravy.
- Sprinkle the flour evenly over the sausage and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in the milk while stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
- Continue to cook and stir for 5–7 minutes until the gravy thickens.
- Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder if desired. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Split warm biscuits in half and ladle the sausage gravy generously over the top.
- Serve hot and enjoy.
Notes
- Use spicy sausage or add cayenne pepper for extra heat.
- Add a splash of milk when reheating to maintain a creamy consistency.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute sausage with sautéed mushrooms or plant-based sausage.
- Store-bought biscuits make this recipe quick and easy.
- Pair with eggs or hash browns for a full Southern breakfast.
