FITD Food: Biscuits and Gravy

Being a Texas girl originally, I absolutely love biscuits and gravy. It is one of my go-to comfort foods especially as the cooler weather sets in. This recipe is also a favorite of my Beloved's.

Ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) can refrigerated jumbo buttermilk biscuits
• 1 (9.6 ounce) package Jimmy Dean® sausage. (I prefer the sage-flavored.)
• 1/4 cup flour
• 2 1/2 cups milk (You can use skim milk.)
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1.  Bake biscuits according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, cook sausage in large skillet over medium heat  until thoroughly heated, stirring frequently.
3. Stir in flour.
4. Gradually add milk; cook until mixture comes to a boil and thickens, stirring constantly.
5. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
6. Split biscuits in half. Place 2 halves on each of 8 plates; top with about 1/3 cup gravy.
