Homemade Sausage Gravy with Biscuits | Healthier Breakfast Comfort Food

Breakfast Sausage
1 lb. Ground Pork
1 tsp Garlic Herb Salt
2 tsp Brown Sugar
½ tsp each: Coriander, Sage, and Thyme
¼ tsp each: Ginger, Nutmeg, and Pepper (I use white pepper)
Dash of Cayenne Pepper if you like a bit of heat.
1 ½ Tbls Powdered Milk
2-3 Tbls cold water

Sausage Gravy
1 lb Breakfast Sausage
¼ cup Butter
1/3 cup Flour
3 cups Milk
½ cup Cream
Salt & Pepper to taste

Biscuits
I used Pillsbury Grands Southern Homestyle biscuits – convenient, but they are generally considered unhealthy because they are high in saturated fat, calories, and sodium, with little nutritional value. Consumed in moderation (as in rarely), and as part of a balanced diet, I consider it an ok option. But definitely, go homemade with quality ingredients whenever possible.
