Gather one pound of breakfast sausage and three cups of whole milk.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the breakfast sausage (casings removed) to the hot skillet and break it up with a wooden spoon into small pieces.

Cook the sausage until browned and cooked through, about five minutes, stirring occasionally.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and sprinkle a quarter cup of flour over the cooked sausage, stirring to coat evenly.

Cook the flour for about one minute until fully absorbed by the sausage fat.

Gradually pour in three cups of whole milk while stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring continuously.

Once simmering, reduce the heat back to medium-low and cook for an additional five to seven minutes until thickened, stirring frequently to prevent curdling.

Add a healthy pinch of salt and crushed red pepper to taste, along with black pepper, and stir to combine.

Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve the gravy immediately over warm buttermilk biscuits or any type of biscuit.
