4.64 (13)

Sausage Biscuits and Gravy is a classic Southern breakfast dish that consists of fluffy biscuits topped with a rich and creamy sausage gravy. It's the perfect comfort food to start your day with!

Ingredients

1 pound ground breakfast sausage
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk
Salt and pepper to taste
8 biscuits, homemade or store-bought

Directions

In a large skillet, cook the ground sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Break up the sausage into crumbles as it cooks.
Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Cook the gravy until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
While the gravy is cooking, bake the biscuits according to package instructions or recipe.
To serve, split the biscuits in half and ladle the sausage gravy on top. Enjoy hot!
