Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) according to biscuit package directions.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the breakfast sausage. Break the sausage into small crumbles using a wooden spoon or spatula while cooking.
- Cook the sausage for 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until it is completely browned and no pink remains. Make sure to break the meat into small, uniform pieces.
- Reduce the heat to medium and sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes to cook the flour and prevent raw flour taste.
- Slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Continue stirring until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble.
- Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed, remembering the sausage may already contain some salt.
- While the gravy simmers, place the refrigerated biscuits on a baking sheet and bake according to package instructions, typically 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
- Once biscuits are done, remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Split the biscuits in half and generously ladle the hot sausage gravy over each biscuit half.
- Serve immediately while gravy and biscuits are warm, garnishing with additional black pepper if desired.
Tips
- Choose the Right Sausage: For the best flavor, opt for a breakfast sausage that you enjoy. You can choose spicy or mild based on your preference.
- Keep the Gravy Smooth: To avoid lumps in your gravy, pour the milk slowly while stirring continuously. This technique helps create a silky texture.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the gravy before serving. Depending on the sausage you use, you may need to adjust the salt and pepper levels.
- Perfect Biscuit Baking: Follow the biscuit package instructions closely for the best results. A golden-brown finish is key to a delightful biscuit.
- Serve Immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh. Serve the gravy hot over the biscuits right after they come out of the oven for maximum flavor and warmth.
- Add a Twist: For an extra kick, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or some sautéed onions and peppers to the gravy for a unique twist.With these tips in mind, you're all set to create a mouthwatering breakfast that will leave everyone asking for seconds!
