Sunday Brunch: Homemade Sausage Gravy and Biscuits - And Holiday Food Blog Hop!

This week's Sunday Brunch I decided it would be fun to do one of those blog hops so everyone can share their recipes. The holiday's are right around the corner and I would love to see all the holiday meals ideas that all of you fabulous bloggers have been putting together. Anything goes for the holidays, brunch recipes, breakfast casserole's, holiday food gifts you will be giving out, treats. I would love to see it all! I have never done one of these before so I am super excited to see what you all share!

For my recipe I am going to share my homemade sausage biscuits and gravy recipe. My husband LOVES this recipe. In fact, I think it may be his favorite thing I make. I promised to make a big batch before I leave to go to my parents house this week because he is staying behind until later.

I guess I shouldn't say that it is completely homemade because I buy Phillsbury biscuits, I don't make those, who has the time? But my gravy is homemade, easy and so, so, so delicious if I don't say so myself.

Ingredients:

1 pound Jimmy Dean Hot Recipe Sausage Roll
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons butter
3 cups whole milk
Salt and black pepper to taste
Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
8 prepared biscuits

Directions:

Place sausage in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon, leaving the drippings in the pan. Stir in the butter until melted. Add flour, and stir until smooth. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until light brown. Gradually whisk in milk, and cook until thickened. Season with salt and pepper, and stir in cooked sausage. Reduce heat, and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes. If gravy becomes too thick, stir in a little more milk.

If you want to go the extra step and make your own biscuits. Check out this recipe from the food network.
