Method

Step 1
Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high, breaking it up, 6 to 8 minutes until browned. Leave the fat in the pan.
Step 2
Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir constantly for 1 to 2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
Step 3
Slowly pour in the milk while stirring, scraping the bottom of the pan.
Step 4
Cook 5 minutes, stirring, until the gravy thickens enough to coat a spoon.
Step 5
Season generously with salt and lots of black pepper.
Step 6
Split the warm biscuits open on plates and ladle the sausage gravy over the top.

Cook's tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Taste and adjust the seasoning right before serving -- salt levels vary a lot between brands of broth, sauce, and canned goods.
Prep all the ingredients before you start cooking; this one moves quickly once it is on the heat.
