Ingredients
Method
- In a large skillet brown pork sausage and break it into crumbles. Remove sausage from skillet and into a bowl, leaving the fat in the skillet.
- Add 2 tbsp of butter to the skillet and melt over medium heat. Stir in the flour to create a roux. Cook until golden brown. Whisk in the milk, salt & pepper.
- Heat the milk mixture over medium heat whisking constantly until it comes to a boil. The mixture will thicken. Remove from heat.
- In a large crockpot (preferably a casserole crockpot or 6 qt) pour in the gravy. Dump in the cooked sausage and stir.
- Open a can of refrigerator biscuits and place them one at a time on top of the gravy to form a top crust.
- Cover and cook on high for 2 hours. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or garlic powder to the sausage while browning it.
- If you're in a hurry, you can bake the biscuits separately instead of using the slow cooker; just follow the package instructions for a quick bake.
- To keep the gravy from thickening too much while it sits on the "keep warm" setting, stir in a splash of milk occasionally to maintain the desired consistency.
- Leftover biscuits and gravy can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of milk to keep the gravy creamy.
- For a lighter option, you can substitute turkey sausage for pork sausage without sacrificing too much flavor.
