– 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
– 2 and 1/2 cups milk
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
– Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish (optional)
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
2. Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat until thoroughly cooked, crumbling it with your spatula as you go along. Once cooked, scatter the sausage evenly in the baking dish.
3. In the same skillet, keep about 2 tablespoons of sausage grease. Sprinkle the flour over the grease and whisk it together to make a roux. Cook this for about a minute to get rid of that floury taste.
4. Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and keep whisking until it thickens up nicely—that’s your gravy!
5. Season the gravy with black pepper and salt, give it a final good stir, and then pour that creamy goodness over the sausage in the baking dish.
6. Separate the biscuit dough into individual biscuits, then cut each biscuit into quarters. Scatter the biscuit pieces on top of the gravy.
