Sausage Gravy and Biscuits

This is easy and fast—although it’s never fast enough when you are hungry!

To make life easier on myself, I just used a can of biscuits from the store. But we’ll cover homemade biscuits at some point in the future.

Equipment

  • 1 Frying Pan
  • 1 oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • cup all-purpose flour
  • 3-4 cups milk
  • pepper to taste
  • 1 pkg store-bought biscuits

Instructions
 

  • In a heavy pan (cast iron is great, but use what you have), brown the sausage over medium heat, breaking it up as you go. Do not discard the fat.
  • Put the biscuits in the oven and bake according to the directions on the package.
  • Add the flour, stirring to combine. Cook 2-3 minutes until the flour is thoroughly cooked.
  • Add three cups of the milk and stir thoroughly. Cook over medium-low heat until it thickens. (Do not allow to boil.)
  • If you prefer a thinner gravy, add the fourth cup of milk and simmer until thickened, approximately 4-5 minutes.

Notes

Nutrition information is for sausage gravy only (made with four cups of whole milk); it does not include the biscuits or the butter you put on the biscuits. (I did mention that this was comfort food and health food, right?)
