It astounds me that some people might not know how to fix this staple of Southern Cooking, so I'm going to post it.
Southern Biscuits and Sausage Gravy. This feeds three hungry adults, but we tend to over-eat something this tasty.
You'll need your favorite Biscuits (I like Mary B's frozen biscuits),
1 lb of bulk Sausage (your favorite flavor, we like Hot)
1/4 cup flour
2 cups Whole Milk
Mary B's Frozen Biscuits
Salt and Pepper to taste

These biscuits take 20 minutes at 400° F. PRE-HEAT your oven unless you like half done biscuits. When you put the biscuits in the oven, it is time to start the gravy.

Brown off sausage in flat bottomed frying pan. DO NOT DRAIN. Do not turn down heat.
Add 1/4 cup flour. Mix and stir until you can't see any "white" from the flour (see image for proper cooking).

Stir in 2 cups of milk. Slowly stir until fully incorporated and heat until simmering. Reduce heat while it thickens.

We like to break up the biscuits in a bowl and put the Sausage Gravy over them. Enjoy!

Do you use 2% milk or skim milk?

I think I like your gravy. I don't cook so I just order them. The gravy always just has this tiny flecks of what might be meat bits. Not even enough to get in between my teeth.

We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

Excellent.

Frozen biscuits are the bomb. I can make pretty good ones from scratch but it's messy and a lot of trouble.

Actually I buy them fresh from a local market and freeze them myself. 30 Seconds in the microwave and a couple of minutes in the toaster oven and they're GTG.

Yep, that's basically the same way I make mine, with the exception that I use Half & Half instead of milk.

My wife is from southern Missouri. She uses store bought biscuits but makes her own gravy with your exact recipe. Can anybody guess why I fell in love with her? Good looks and good cookin' is a pretty darn good combination.

De-Lish!

My cooking has taken a hit as well. Since the stove zapped out the main breaker.

But I can recommend Last Chance Saloon in Sweet Springs, Missouri (an old river town, platted in 1838). Right down the block from the Old City Hall. Parrish cooks them up similar. Sausage, milk, flour, butter, salt/pepper.

Butter? Is that common?

I absolutely hate store bought biscuits, most are either too dry, crumbly or, taste like baking soda. I don't eat B&S often but, when I do, I'm making my own biscuits, along with the gravy.

My gravy recipe is almost exactly like yours, but I add a 1/2 cup of minced onion to the sausage while it browns. Also a lot of fresh ground pepper.

And yes, whole milk or nothing.

Yep. Sorry, Roland, but you lost me at “frozen” biscuits. Definitely whole milk, though.

I’m from Georgia, BTW. Wink

Well it has been discussed before. I present to you a video:

We use the same recipe but we like Pillsbury Grand biscuits. Light and flaky. Not doughy. Good tutorial Rolan.

I note that Mary B's biscuits were recalled last January because of Listeria. Has that been fixed?
