Country Style Biscuits and Sausage Gravy (from scratch!)

Felice

Connecticut, United States

A classic, American country-style breakfast especially in the south & midwest. Sausage gravy is a creamy gravy made with milk and chunks of sage-flavored 'breakfast sausage.' It's almost always eaten spooned over hot breakfast biscuits. Use store-bought breakfast sausage or make your own with the ingredients listed below.

Makes 8-10 biscuits and 4 portions gravy.

    Remove browned sausage, leaving the fat in the pan. Add 1 Tablespoon flour to the pan and 1 Tablespoon butter if there isn't much oil from the sausage.

    Add more milk if it's too thick. Add salt and pepper to taste (I added about 1/4 tsp each).

  20. 20

    Serve with hot biscuits. There's a couple ways to eat: - You can break up the biscuits and pour gravy over top - Slice the biscuit and half and pour over gravy - Or just leave the biscuits whole and pour over top!
