How to Make Sausage And Gravy

  1. In a large deep skillet (12-inch) over medium heat, crumble 1 pound of sausage and brown, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Reduce heat to low. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour over the sausage, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes to create a roux and ensure the flour is fully incorporated and cooked.
  3. Gradually whisk in 3 cups of milk, a half-cup at a time, stirring continuously until the gravy is smooth and creamy. Avoid lumps by whisking vigorously.
  4. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare 1 pound of your favorite biscuits. Once the gravy is ready, tear the biscuits into bite-sized pieces and stir them into the gravy until fully coated.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy! This recipe is best served hot.
