Ingredients
Method
- Bake the biscuits according to package directions or biscuit recipe. Try our biscuit recipe out!
- While they bake, brown the ground sausage, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once it's cooked through, see how much fat has rendered. If it doesn't look like 2-3 tbsp, add some butter and melt it in. Sprinkle the 3 tbsp of flour over the sausage and stir. Over medium heat, slowly stir in the milk. Stir to combine, season to taste with salt and pepper. Add pinch of nutmeg if using. Bring this to a simmer and allow to simmer to desired consistency.
- To serve, split biscuit and spoon gravy over the top. Serve with eggs of your choice and some fresh fruit.
If someone doesn't like gravy, they can make an egg and cheese sandwich on a biscuit. Customized but without having to cook a seperate dinner!
