Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground pork sausage
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ? teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cans refrigerated biscuits or 8 homemade

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium high heat, add the ground sausage and cook, using a spatula to break up the sausage. Add the water to help break up the sausage as it cooks, continuing to heat until no longer pink—about 6-7 minutes.
  • Add the butter, onion powder, garlic powder, and flour to the cooked sausage and stir together. While stirring constantly, gradually add the milk and cook until the gravy comes to a boil. Once it reaches a low boil, reduce the heat to medium low and continue to cook for 2 minutes while stirring constantly.
  • Once it has cooked and thickened, remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot over a split biscuit. Enjoy!
