How to Make Truck Stop Biscuit Gravy

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 2 cups milk. Set aside near the stove.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown 1 pound of ground beef (or 1 pound lean turkey sausage) breaking it up with a spoon until no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. If using ground beef, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon sausage seasoning, and salt to taste. (Skip seasoning if using turkey sausage).
  4. Pour the flour-milk mixture into the skillet with the meat. Stir constantly.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and stir continuously until melted and the sauce starts to thicken (about 10 minutes).
  6. Stir in 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce and a few drops of Tabasco sauce (optional).
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  8. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the gravy reaches your desired thickness (about 5 more minutes).
  9. Serve immediately over warm, split biscuits.
