I've been making biscuits and gravy for as long as I can remember and it is by far my favorite breakfast food. I thought I would share my recipe for my favorite biscuits and gravy that is always requested when I have company staying over. If I don't feel like making homemade biscuits, I'll just put a can of biscuits in the oven. A piece of toast is also a great and super easy option.
This recipe can easily feed 1-2 people if halved. If feeding more or for left-overs, make the full amount. You get the best bang for your time/effort with this one.
Bri's Famous Breakfast Sausage Gravy1 pound breakfast sausage
3/4 cup flour
4 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon white pepper
2 tablespoon butter
optional: 1 teaspoon hot sauce adds a kick
Start by browning thawed sausage over medium heat in a large saute pan. Once the sausage has browned and is crumbly, stir in the flour and continue stirring until the flour has been saturated and no longer white, 1-2 minutes. Slowly add milk, and continue stirring until fully mixed. Reduce heat to low and heat and bring to a very light boil until desired consistency, stirring frequently. Stir in white pepper, butter, and optional hot sauce. Serve over freshly baked biscuits.
Tips: For left-overs, add a little milk before reheating as the consistency tends to thicken. I always keep a couple pounds of sausage in the freezer just for this recipe. They thaw easily in the defrost setting in the microwave. The "hot" breakfast sausage gives a really nice kick, but I also really like the sage.
