Scale
For the Biscuits:
- 8 flaky buttermilk biscuits (store-bought or homemade)
For the Sausage Gravy:
- 1 pound pork sausage
- 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups half and half
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/8 teaspoon dried crushed rosemary
- 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage:
- Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the pork sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks.
- Use a paper towel to blot out most of the grease, leaving about 1–2 tablespoons in the pan.
- Prepare the Gravy:
- Add the flour and butter to the cooked sausage and stir until the flour is fully absorbed.
- Gradually whisk in the half and half, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
- Season the Gravy:
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the mixture, stirring often, until thickened (about 5–7 minutes).
- Stir in thyme, rosemary, crushed red pepper flakes, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve:
- Split the warm buttermilk biscuits in half and generously spoon the sausage gravy over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Make-Ahead Tip: The sausage gravy can be made a day in advance and reheated on the stovetop. Add a splash of milk or half and half if it thickens too much.
- Spice Adjustment: Increase or reduce the red pepper flakes based on your spice preference.
- Biscuits: Homemade biscuits bring this dish to the next level. Consider making your own for a truly indulgent meal.
