Step-by-step overview
Let’s dive into how this beloved dish comes together. First, you’ll cook the sausage until it’s beautifully browned, allowing that tasty fat to remain in the pan to create the gravy base. After a quick stir of flour to thicken things up, you’ll gradually whisk in milk to make everything delightfully creamy. With simple ingredients and a few easy steps, you’ll have a dish that tastes like it belongs in a fancy restaurant but is surprisingly easy to whip up at home.
What you’ll need
- Breakfast sausage: Look for your favorite brand—fresh or pre-packaged will work.
- All-purpose flour: Essential for thickening the gravy.
- Milk: Whole milk gives the richest flavor, but you can use any type you have on hand.
- Salt and black pepper: For seasoning to taste.
- Biscuits: Bake them fresh or warm up store-bought varieties in the oven.
If you’re in a pinch, you can even substitute sausage with plant-based options or use a gluten-free flour blend for the gravy!
