Biscuits and Gravy

I love some biscuits and gravy for breakfast. It’s so flavorful and filling and I’ll often skip lunch whenever we make it. So far I’ve usually just used canned biscuits, but I think I may start exploring biscuits from scratch. For the gravy, I’ve made a few different recipes that I’ve found on the internet, but the one I made today has been my fav so far.  Here’s the recipe as I made it:

1lbs Hot breakfast sausage (I used Tennessee Pride)

1.5t Rosemary, fresh 

1.5t Thyme, fresh 

1/2t Kosher salt (plus a bit more)

1.25t Ground black pepper

3T butter

1T Worcestershire sauce

1/2c All-purpose flour

2.5c Milk

2.5c Heavy whipping cream 

Notes: You can substitute 5c milk if you don’t have heavy whipping cream. 

Instructions 

1. Brown the sausage over medium heat.
2. Add Rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper and mix well and cook for 2 minutes..
3. Add butter and Worcestershire.
4. Once butter melts, add flour and stir well.  Continue cooking for about 3 minutes, stirring so that the flour doesn’t burn.
5. Add milk/cream and mix well.  Stir occasionally so it doesn’t burn on the bottom. 
6. Once thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, turn off the heat and cover.
7. Bake your biscuits and once they’re ready, give the gravy a good stir.  
8. Serve over hot biscuits.
