12Homemade Buttermilk BiscuitsI love my homemade biscuit recipe, but you could use a store bought brand if you wish.
Instructions
Brown the sausage in a large, deep skillet. I like to use a cast iron skillet. Cook the sausage on medium heat, breaking it up into pieces, cooking until no pink remains, about 10 minutes.
When the sausage is cooked through add the unsalted butter and stir until melted. Next, add the flour and stir into sausage until dissolved.
Pour the milk into the skillet with the sausage and raise heat the bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling reduce heat and continuously whisk until the gravy begins to thicken. About 5 minutes.
Add in spices and stir until combined. Taste and adjust gravy seasoning to you liking, then serve over top of warm biscuits, enjoy!
Draining the Grease: Okay, so I just make this super indulgent and do not strain the grease out of the cooked sausage. It adds so much incredible flavor and I just love the texture it gives. You can of course drain the meat of you wish, the gravy will still work and be great.Leftover Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. When ready to enjoy, rewarm in a microwave until warm.Pepper Note: I LOVE ground black pepper and the flavor it brings to this gravy. If you aren't big on bold pepper taste, then start with ½ teaspoon then add more to taste. Additionally, leave the crushed red pepper out completely as it will add a kick to the gravy and add to the pepper flavor.
