Ingredients
- 6 slices bacon chopped
- ½ pound breakfast sausage
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 5 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups whole milk
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add your chopped bacon and sausage to a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until the bacon is golden brown and the sausage is no longer pink, breaking the sausage up as it cooks.
- Add butter and cook until melted.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for about 30 seconds. You want to cook out the taste of dry flour, but don't let it brown.
- Slowly whisk in the milk and the cream. I like to add half of the milk first, whisk it smooth, then add the rest — it keeps things from getting lumpy. Keep whisking over medium heat until the gravy has thickened.
- Stir the meat back into the gravy and season with salt and plenty of black pepper. Serve hot over warm biscuits.
