Instructions
Sausage Gravy
Heat a large skillet (I used a 10 inch cast iron, because it's oven safe for the biscuits) over medium-high heat.
Add sausage and cook, breaking it up as you go, until pork is cooked through, about 5-10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Add butter to the hot pan and melt.
Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking continuously, for about 1 minute.
Slowly whisk the half-and-half into the pan.
Whisk in salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Whisk and cook until gravy has thickened to your liking, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the sausage, then taste and re-season if necessary.
Serve with your favorite biscuits or set aside and follow directions for the baked biscuits and gravy recipe below!
Baked Biscuits and Gravy - Optional
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a medium sized bowl, stir together bisquick, sugar, pepper, and garlic powder - it’s ok if there are a few lumps.
Pour in milk and stir until well mixed, then stir in cheese. Set aside.
Drop biscuit dough in 6 large spoonfuls (I used an ice cream scoop) onto the gravy.
Bake 20-35 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Serve and enjoy!

*If you'd like to freeze the biscuits, bake them separately from the gravy, then store separately in the freezer.
