Simple Sausage Gravy
Nothing can calm the chaos of life quite like a cozy homemade meal. And when it’s something as cheerful as homemade biscuits and gravy? That’s even better! Check out this breakfast gravy recipe that’s perfect for comfy weekend mornings.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces ground breakfast sausage
- 2 Tablespoons butter
