Ingredients
- 1 batch [buttermilk biscuits]
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 6 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon thyme dried
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 cups milk whole
Instructions
- Make biscuits. While they are baking, prepare the sausage gravy.
- Break up sausage in a large cast skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until browned. Do not drain the grease unless there is more than 2 tablespoons or so.
- Reduce heat to medium, then sprinkle the flour over the sausage, stirring until absorbed, about 1-2 minutes. Season with the salt, pepper, thyme, and garlic powder.
- Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly until thickened to your liking, anywhere from 3 minutes to 8 minutes. If the gravy gets too thick, add a little additional milk to thin it out.

Notes
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 3-5 days; reheat with added milk to thin the gravy if needed.
- The sausage gravy freezes for up to 3 months; thaw and reheat with additional milk before serving.
