Ingredients
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 pieces biscuits (store-bought or homemade)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the ground sausage to the skillet and cook it until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. This should take about 7-8 minutes.
Step 3
Once the sausage is cooked, do not drain the fat. Sprinkle the flour evenly over the sausage in the skillet.
Step 4
Stir the flour into the sausage and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Step 5
Gradually pour in the milk while stirring constantly to ensure no lumps form. Continue stirring until the mixture begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 6
Add the salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. Stir to combine.
Step 7
Reduce heat to low and simmer the gravy for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 8
While the gravy is cooking, warm your biscuits according to package instructions or prepare homemade biscuits.
Step 9
Split the biscuits in half and ladle the sausage gravy generously over the top.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy Grandma Prater's traditional Southern comfort meal!
