Southern Sausage Gravy and Biscuits
Hearty, savory sausage gravy ladled over fluffy, homemade biscuits. This recipe is a classic, is so easy to make, and only calls for 3 ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (I prefer Tennessee Pride or Jimmy Dean)
- 1/3 cup flour
- 3 cups whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium to low heat. I like to add about a tablespoon of bacon drippings to the pan for best flavor, but its not necessary.
- Add the sausage to the skillet and cook until browned. Do not drain the drippings. They're needed to make the gravy.
- Add the flour to the pan and stir. Keep stirring and scraping the bottom of the skillet to prevent sticking and burning. Let cook until the flour is absorbed and no longer visible.
- Pour in the milk. Stir, scraping the bottom of the skillet as you go. Bring to a simmer and then simmer for about a minute or two or until it's as thick as you like. If it gets too thick you can add a little milk to thin it out.
- Take off the heat and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately over biscuits or toast. Leftovers can easily be reheated by adding a splash of milk.
