Biscuit Gravy:

Directions

Biscuit Gravy:

  1. Cook breakfast sausage in a large braising pan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until fully cooked, approximately 15 minutes.
  2. Add butter and let melt. Add flour and cook, stirring slowly, to make a roux. Add milk and cook, continuously whisking, to thicken the gravy. Add chicken base, thyme and pepper and cook, whisking, until gravy thickens, 4 to 5 minutes. Serve as a side or over biscuits.
