Sausage Biscuits and Gravy
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 prepared biscuits
Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook 1 pound of ground breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the cooked sausage and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in 2 cups of whole milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Cook the gravy, stirring occasionally, until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- While the gravy is cooking, heat the prepared biscuits according to package instructions.
- To serve, split the biscuits in half and place them on plates. Spoon the sausage gravy over the biscuits and serve hot.
