Ingredients:
- 1 pound breakfast sausage, hot or mild
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 to 4 cups whole milk, more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, more to taste
- 12 cooked biscuits, warmed, for serving
Preparation:
- Cooking the Sausage: With your finger, tear small pieces of sausage and add them in a single layer to a large, heavy skillet. Brown the sausage over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Creating the Roux: Sprinkle half of the flour over the browned sausage and stir to soak it all up. Add more flour little by little, stirring continuously. Cook for another minute or so.
- Adding Milk: Pour in the whole milk gradually, stirring constantly. Cook the gravy, stirring frequently, until it thickens (about 10 to 12 minutes).
- Seasoning: Sprinkle in the seasoned salt and black pepper. Continue cooking until the gravy is very thick and luscious. If it thickens too quickly, add another 1/2 cup of milk or more as needed. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- Serving: Spoon the sausage gravy generously over warm biscuits and serve immediately. This recipe can be easily doubled to serve a crowd.
