Biscuits & Gravy

I grew up loving Dad's B&G! Here's the recipe from my parents.

BISCUITS AND SAUSAGE GRAVY

Canned biscuits or make a recipe of homemade biscuits

3/4 lb. Sausage ( Your Dad says to use a lb.)

4 c. Milk

4-6 Tbls. Flour

Brown sausage in skillet. (Don’t drain). As soon as sausage is completely brown, turn to medium heat. ADD flour by the tablespoon, stirring constantly. Let the flour turn BROWN before adding another tablespoon. After you have added enough flour to make the gravy as thick as you like, add milk and stir with a whisk. Stir until thickened.

Substitutions: I've made this using soy milk instead of cow milk and it works fine. The taste is a slight bit different but still quite acceptable.

I've also made this using healthier sausage (Harrison's) and felt like I needed to add some oil due to the low fat content.

I also add 3/4 T of chili powder and serve with Tabasco sauce. Pepper to taste.
