Sausage Biscuits and Gravy

Often imitated, never duplicated. Just make sure that after you make this for breakfast, you have a window of opportunity to go back to bed, because you won't be able to do much after consuming this. Cast-iron skillet is preferred. I prefer the taste that the maple sausage lends to the dish, however you could easily substitute regular or sage sausage in lieu of the maple.

Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ cups milk
• 1 teaspoon butter
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
• 1 (16 ounce) package maple-flavored breakfast sausage

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Arrange biscuits about 1 1/2 inches apart on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 13 to 17 minutes. Slice cooked biscuits in half crosswise and keep warm.

Step 4

While biscuits are baking, crumble sausage into a large skillet over medium heat; cook, breaking meat apart, until no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle sausage and pan drippings with flour and cook and stir until sausage is coated, about 1 more minute. Reduce heat to medium-low.

Step 5

Pour evaporated milk into sausage mixture, followed by milk; stir until thoroughly combined. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, and cook until gravy is your desired thickness, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and ground black pepper. Stir butter into gravy until melted. Stir in more flour if gravy isn't thick enough.

Step 6

Place biscuits with cut sides up on serving plates; top with sausage gravy.
