Homestyle Biscuits and Sausage Gravy

Ingredients

Cayenne pepper

1/8 teaspoon

Paprika

1/2 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Milk

2 cups

All-purpose flour

1/3 cup

Ground sausage

1 pound

Biscuits

8 (from a biscuit mix or homemade)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and prepare the biscuits according to package instructions, or from your favorite homemade recipe.
2. 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.
3. Sprinkle the flour evenly over the cooked sausage, stirring well until the sausage is coated and the flour is absorbed.
4. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent any lumps from forming in your gravy.
5. Add the salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper to the skillet and stir well to combine.
6. 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.
7. Once the biscuits are ready, split them in half and place them on serving plates.
8. Generously spoon the hot sausage gravy over the biscuits, ensuring each one is well covered.
9. Serve your biscuits and sausage gravy while hot, and enjoy this delicious taste of Southern comfort food!
