Biscuits and Sausage Gravy


This is something my husband is always tempted to order at a restaurant for breakfast. I decided to make it at home and was surprised at how easy it is to do.
  • 8 Homemade or Refrigerator Biscuits baked according to package instructions.
  • 1 pkg. (approx. 1 pound) ground breakfast sausage. I used the hot variety.
  • 2 Tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley to add some nice color
Prepare your biscuits and put them in the oven to bake. While biscuits are baking cook the sausage in a skillet until cooked thoroughly. Sprinkle flour over the sausage and stir in and cook for 2 minutes. Add 2 cups of milk all at once and cook stirring until the mixture thickens. Add the fresh parsley. Cut open a biscuit and place on plate. Cover the biscuit halves with the sausage gravy and serve while hot.
Serves 4 with seconds on biscuits.

Note: If you choose to use ground pork that isn't seasoned already add some sage, pepper and salt to the sausage to taste.

  2. Now that's comfort food! I've never made it but since we have some of the best pork sausage in the world here in our area I must try this sometime!

  3. I just made this for supper the other day! (yes, sometimes we have breakfast for supper :) ) So quick and easy to make, except I made "from scratch" buttermilk biscuits, so it took just a little longer.

    1. If it is so unhealthy, how can it be good? I don't know why anyone would even eat this.

    2. I may be unhealthy in large amounts. But in moderation it's Heaven on a plate.

  6. Im assuming your packet biscuits are what the English would call scones?? I would make my own scones as they are so simple to make and I would add cheese and chives.

    1. Joluise, Scones would work and the addition of chives and cheese would be nice...

  9. What is the purpose of sprinkling flour over the sausage? Thickening agent perhaps? What about the grease from cooking the sausage; do you drain that off before adding the flour? I must be thick because I don't understand this recipe.

    1. Betty, yes, the flour is the thickening agent. I used chicken sausage and there wasn't a large amount of grease so I didn't drain it. You could drain the sausage after cooking if you end up with a lot of grease.
