Ingredients
  

For the Gravy

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • ΒΌ cup all-purpose flour Can substitute with gluten-free flour
  • 2 cups milk Can substitute with almond, soy, or coconut milk
  • to taste Salt and pepper Season according to preference

For the Biscuits

  • 1 package refrigerated biscuits

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Start by assembling all your ingredients. Measure out the sausage, flour, and milk, and have your refrigerated biscuits ready.

Cooking

  • In a skillet over medium heat, add the breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks, and allow it to brown thoroughly for about 5-7 minutes.
  • Once the sausage is browned, sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the sausage and stir well to combine. Cook for about 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
  • Slowly pour the milk into the pan while stirring continuously to ensure a smooth mixture and continue cooking until the gravy thickens, around 5 minutes.
  • Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste, allowing it to simmer for a couple of extra minutes for enhanced flavor.
  • While the gravy simmers, preheat your oven and bake the refrigerated biscuits according to package instructions, usually taking 10-12 minutes.
  • Check the gravy consistency as the biscuits bake; add more milk if it's too thick, or let it cook longer if it's too thin.
  • Once the biscuits are baked, remove them from the oven and split them in half. Ladle generous portions of sausage gravy over each half before serving.

Garnishing

  • Consider garnishing your dish with chopped parsley or chives for color and freshness.

Notes

Storing leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge helps maintain freshness. Biscuits should be stored separately to prevent sogginess.
