How to Make Sausage Gravy For Biscuits And Gravy

  1. Brown 1 pound of sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully cooked and crumbles.
  2. Remove the cooked sausage from the skillet and set aside; drain off excess grease, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the skillet.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet. Whisk in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour until smooth.
  4. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken and comes to a simmer over medium heat. This will take about 5-7 minutes. Continue whisking to prevent lumps.
  5. Stir in the cooked sausage, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through and the gravy has reached your desired consistency.
  6. Serve immediately over warm, split biscuits. Enjoy!
