Sausage Gravy over Biscuits

I first had sausage gravy over biscuits when visiting my sister and her husband made it for breakfast for us.

It was delicious. I then started making it Saturday evenings for my husband when the children had other plans.  But noticing that they also liked it, it has now become a normal weeknight meal.  It's very simple and only takes a few ingredients, sausage, milk, flour and a little cream if you like it.

I use a 3# roll of sausage, brown it up, and add some milk to get hot.  I then add 1 1/2 cups of flour to some more milk and make a ruhe.  When the milk in the pan is hot I add the ruhe.  Then I add more milk or cream to get it to the desired gravy thickness.  This amount feeds my family of 8 (at least today it was 8) and I even have a little left over.

 Make your favorite biscuit recipe and smush it on your plate.

 I add some peas and pour the gravy on top and have a delicious meal.

 My husband adds some fried eggs and tobasco on top of his biscuits and gravy.  I'd say that's more of a man's meal.
