\u00a0Ingredients<\/h2>\n

For the Sausage Gravy:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)<\/li>\n
  • \u00bc cup all-purpose flour<\/li>\n
  • 2\u00bd\u20133 cups whole milk<\/li>\n
  • \u00bd teaspoon salt (or to taste)<\/li>\n
  • \u00bd teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    For Serving:<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Freshly baked biscuits, warm (homemade or store-bought)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \u00a0Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n

      1. Cook the sausage<\/h3>\n

      Place a large skillet over medium heat<\/strong>.
      \nAdd the breakfast sausage and cook until fully browned, breaking it up into small crumbles as it cooks.<\/p>\n

      Do not drain the fat<\/strong>\u2014this is essential for building a rich, flavorful gravy.<\/p>\n

      2. Make the roux<\/h3>\n

      Once the sausage is browned, sprinkle the flour evenly over the meat.
      \nStir constantly for about 1 minute<\/strong>, allowing the flour to absorb the fat and cook off the raw taste.<\/p>\n

      This step creates the thick, creamy base of the gravy.<\/p>\n

      3. Add the milk slowly<\/h3>\n

      Reduce heat to medium-low<\/strong>.
      \nSlowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly to prevent lumps.<\/p>\n

      Continue stirring as the gravy thickens. This process takes about 5\u20137 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      4. Season the gravy<\/h3>\n

      Add salt and black pepper to taste.
      \nSimmer gently until the gravy reaches a smooth, thick, and creamy<\/strong> consistency.<\/p>\n

      If the gravy becomes too thick, add a splash of milk. If it\u2019s too thin, let it simmer a little longer.<\/p>\n

      5. Prepare the biscuits<\/h3>\n

      Split the warm biscuits in half and place them on serving plates.
      \nMake sure the biscuits are hot so they soak up the gravy perfectly.<\/p>\n

      6. Serve and enjoy<\/h3>\n

      Spoon the sausage gravy generously over the biscuits.
      \nServe immediately while hot and creamy.<\/p>\n
