Description
A comforting sausage gravy served over split warm biscuits, perfect for brunch or a filling weeknight meal.
Ingredients
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (bulk or removed from casings)
- ½ cup sweet onion, chopped (optional)
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 3½ cups whole milk
- ½ tsp seasoned salt
- ½ tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tsp dried sage or thyme (optional)
- Salt, to taste
- Biscuits, for serving (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage and if using, add the onion. Cook until the sausage is fully browned and the onion is soft, about 6–8 minutes.
- Drain excess grease if necessary. Sprinkle the flour over the browned sausage, stirring constantly for about 2 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, then slowly pour in the milk while whisking constantly until mixture thickens, about 3–5 minutes.
- Add the seasoned salt, black pepper, and dried herbs if using. Simmer gently for 8–10 minutes until gravy coats the back of a spoon.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. If too thick, stir in a splash of milk.
- Serve immediately over split warm biscuits.
Notes
Consider using spicy sausage for an extra kick or adding a fried egg on top for extra richness.
