Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 8 large biscuits (your favorite recipe/brand--there's my recipe in the post)
  • 2 boxes 6.4 oz each brown-and-serve sausage patties or links, defrosted
  • 1 small onion (chopped)
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/8 tsp thyme
  • 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 2 cups milk (divided)
  • 1 cup light cream or half-and-half cream
  • 1/4 cup flour

Instruction

  • Chop sausage so it has a texture like browned ground beef. A couple of pulses in a food processor will give the right texture.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Saute the mushrooms and onion until the onion is translucent. Add the thyme, pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
  • Add the sausage, stir and heat through.
  • Place 1 cup of the milk and the flour in a covered container and shake well so there are no lumps. Set aside.
  • Add the remaining cup of milk and the cream to the sausage mixture in the pan. Heat until almost boiling. Stir in the flour/milk mixture and stir until thickened. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until flour is cooked.
  • You can thin with more milk if the gravy is too thick.
  • Cut biscuits and ladle gravy over the biscuits.
