Recipe Introduction

"Whenever we went on a family road trip, my dad bragged about this breakfast place where his family used to stop when he traveled to visit family in Texas, which served up the best biscuits and gravy he'd ever eaten. Our family was always on a quest to find something just as good, and it wasn't until this homemade version that I finally found it."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 1 pound breakfast sausage
â—¦ â…“ cup all-purpose flour
â—¦ 2 cups whole milk
â—¦ 2 cups half-and-half
â—¦ ½ teaspoon kosher salt
â—¦ 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
â—¦ â…› to ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
â—¦ 8 biscuits, homemade or from a can, baked


Recipe

In a large skillet, crumble and brown the sausage over medium-high heat until fully cooked.

Reduce the heat to medium. Sprinkle half the flour over the sausage and stir until the flour is fully mixed in. Add the rest of the flour and cook, stirring, for another minute. Turn the heat up to medium-high and stir in the milk and half-and-half.

Add the salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir the mixture until a thick gravy forms, about 5 minutes. Add a bit more milk or half-and-half if needed. Serve the gravy over warm biscuits.
