Homemade Biscuits and Sausage Gravy

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 cups milk
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• Salt and cracked black pepper (to taste)
• 8 homemade buttermilk biscuits (my recipe linked!)

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, using a wooden spoon to break it apart as it cooks. Once the sausage is browned, add the butter and cook until melted.

2. 2

   Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir with a wooden spoon to create a paste. Continue to cook the flour with the sausage for another minute. Slowly pour the milk into the pan while stirring so lumps do not form.

3. 3

   Season the gravy with onion powder, paprika, crushed red pepper, salt, and cracked black pepper, and continue to cook the gravy for 5 to 7 minutes, or until thickened, stirring often.

4. 4

   Place two warm biscuits on a plate and slice them in half. Spoon sausage gravy over the biscuits and top with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy!
