Vegetarian Version:
Use plant-based sausage crumble and add 3 tablespoons of butter to create the roux.
Tips
Thickness Control:
If the gravy is too thick, add a splash of milk. If too thin, simmer a few more minutes.
Warm Biscuits:
Always serve over fresh-out-of-the-oven biscuits to keep the gravy hot and creamy.
Make Ahead:
Gravy can be prepared a day in advance. Reheat slowly on the stove, adding a little milk to loosen it back up.
