Biscuits and gravy is a hearty southern breakfast treat, although not the healthiest of dishes. But every once in awhile I indulge and then walk an extra mile!

Guido had this dish at a truck stop and they used canned gravy...yuck.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 pound bulk pork sausage
3 Tbsp all purpose_flour
2-3 cups whole milk
Salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper , or to taste
Hot biscuits, home made or ready to bake

METHODS

1. In a heavy skillet cook sausage, breaking up into small pieces as it browns. When sausage is cooked, add about 3 Tbsps flour. Cook, stirring constantly about 8 minutes, until flour has browned. Add cold milk, stirring briskly. bring to a boil and cook until thickened to your preference. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

2. Serve over hot,split biscuits.

Note: Leftover gravy can be re heated in a saucepan with a little milk.
