Ingredients
  

Sausage Gravy
  • 1 lb ground sausage
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 ½ cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sage
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 pinch salt
Biscuits
  • 12 homemade buttermilk biscuits or store-bought if preferred

Method
 

  1. Cook the Sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage, breaking it up into crumbles, until browned. Remove the sausage and set it aside.
  2. Make the Roux: Add butter to the skillet with the sausage drippings. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add the Milk: Slowly whisk in the milk, about ½ cup at a time, until smooth and thickened (5-7 minutes).
  4. Season the Gravy: Stir in the black pepper, sage, red pepper flakes (if using), and a pinch of salt. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Combine with Sausage: Return the cooked sausage to the skillet, stirring it into the gravy. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Serve: Split warm biscuits in half and spoon the sausage gravy generously over the top. Enjoy!
