Turn the pan on to medium heat.

Add the entire 1 lb packet of ground pork sausage to the pan and begin frying.

Chop the small sweet Vidalia onion into small pieces.

Add the chopped onion to the pan with the sausage.

Sprinkle garlic powder over the sausage and onion mixture.

Use a masher to break down the sausage into smaller pieces as it cooks.

If the sausage releases a lot of oil, drain it well.

Open the package of biscuits and place them on a cookie sheet.

Bake the biscuits in the oven at 350°F.

While the biscuits are baking, continue to cook the sausage and onion until the sausage is fully cooked and the onions are tender.

Crack three eggs into the pan, stacking them on top of each other.

Season the eggs with salt and parsley flakes, and break the yolks to mix the whites and yolks together.

Once the sausage is cooked, prepare to make the gravy by adding equal parts butter and flour to the pan.

Let the butter melt and mix it with the flour, cooking for about 3 to 4 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Add in 1 cup of half and half or heavy whipping cream to the butter and flour mixture.

Use a whisk to mix until there are no lumps, keeping the heat on medium.

Continue mixing until the gravy thickens up.
