Quick Sausage Gravy

•Soy-free •Nut-free

I never had sausage gravy until I moved to South Carolina for my first job out of culinary

school. Now, biscuits seem naked without a creamy spoonful of this milk-based gravy on

top. The secret is to use lots of freshly ground black pepper for the right flavor.
