Southern Sausage Gravy for Biscuits with Heavy Cream

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage completely, or until it is no longer pink and starting to get some crispy edges to it. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain. Keep the grease in the pan and return to the stove.

Step 2

Reduce the heat to low and add the butter and flour to the skillet. Whisk together and let cook for 1-2 minutes.

Step 3

Slowly whisk in the heavy cream, about a 1/2 cup at a time, whisking between each addition, ensuring no lumps. Add in the milk and whisk again. Continue whisking for about 5 minutes as the gravy thickens.

Step 4

Stir in the salt and pepper - then add the sausage back in. Give it a good stir. Cook for another 5 minutes so that all the flavors come together.

Step 5

Spoon warm over freshly baked biscuits, and enjoy!
