How To Make Country Sausage Gravy

1. Start by browning your breakfast sausage in the heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Take your time with this, ensuring it’s well-browned for the deepest flavor.
2. Reduce the heat to medium and sprinkle your all-purpose flour over the sausage. Stir well, allowing the flour to soak up the grease and cook for about one minute.
3. Quickly whisk in the milk and continuously stir to engender a smooth texture. Cook for roughly 6-8 minutes or until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
4. Season with salt and pepper, give it a final heartly stir and ladle over hot, fluffy biscuits. Serve immediately and enjoy
