Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and prepare the biscuits according to package instructions, or from your favorite homemade recipe.
- While the biscuits are baking, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground sausage, breaking it up with a spoon and cooking until it's well browned.
- Sprinkle the flour evenly over the cooked sausage, stirring well until the sausage is coated and the flour is absorbed.
- Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent any lumps from forming in your gravy.
- Add the salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper to the skillet and stir well to combine.
- Continue cooking the gravy over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency. If it thickens too much, simply add a bit more milk.
- Once the biscuits are ready, split them in half and place them on serving plates.
- Generously spoon the hot sausage gravy over the biscuits, ensuring each one is well covered.
- Serve your biscuits and sausage gravy while hot, and enjoy this delicious taste of Southern comfort food!
