Method

Gravy Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the breakfast sausage. Cook until browned and crumbly, about 5-7 minutes. Make sure to break it up as it cooks.

  2. 2

    Make the Roux

    Once the sausage is cooked, sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the sausage. Stir well to combine and cook for about 1-2 minutes to create a roux, which helps thicken the gravy.

  3. 3

    Add Milk and Seasonings

    Slowly pour in the milk while continuously stirring to prevent lumps. Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Continue stirring until the gravy thickens, about 5-10 minutes.

Serving

  1. 4

    Prepare the Biscuits

    While the gravy is thickening, prepare your biscuits according to package instructions or your favorite recipe. Warm them in the oven if needed.

  2. 5

    Serve the Haystack

    Once the gravy is ready, split the warm biscuits in half. Spoon a generous amount of sausage gravy over the biscuits. Serve hot and enjoy!
