Step 1: Bake the Biscuits
Preheat oven according to biscuit package instructions.
Bake biscuits until golden brown and fluffy. Set aside and keep warm.
Step 2: Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it apart,
until browned and fully cooked. Do not drain the grease unless excessive.
Step 3: Make the Gravy
If the sausage is lean, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over the sausage and
stir for 1 minute. Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly.
Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5–8 minutes until thickened.
Season with black pepper, garlic powder, and salt to taste.
Step 4: Serve
Split warm biscuits in half and spoon sausage gravy generously over the top.
Serve immediately.
