Biscuits and Gravy

I am not a breakfast eater, but Biscuits and Gravy has always been one of my favorites, if I choose to actually eat breakfast......

Biscuits and Gravy

1 tbsp vegetable oil (I actually save bacon drippings, store in a jar in the frige and use it instead of oil)
1 lb Pork sausage (Jimmy Dean works well, but I used New York Sausage Co.)
1 package refrigerated biscuits
1 tsp sage
1 tsp crushed red pepper
1/4 tsp thyme
3 tbsp flour
2 cups milk

Cook biscuits according to package directions. I brush mine with melted butter before I put them into the oven.
Brown pork. Add sage, crushed red pepper and thyme while it's cooking.
  When it's fully cooked (no longer pink), do not drain the fat, you need it to make the roux. sprinkle flour directly over the pork.  Stir it to evenly distribute the flour.

  Add 2 cups milk and stir to combine

. Bring to a light simmer and continue to simmer for about 5 minutes to cook out the flour taste. Keep stirring it so it doesn't stick to the pan. If it's too thick or you like more "juicy"gravy, add more milk a little at a time until it's your desired consistency.

Serve over biscuits!
