In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it up into small pieces as it browns. Cook until no longer pink and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage. Stir well to coat the sausage and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the milk, about 1/2 cup at a time, ensuring no lumps form. Increase the heat to medium and continue whisking until the gravy begins to thicken, about 5 minutes.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If desired, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.
Serve the sausage gravy warm over freshly baked biscuits. Enjoy!

Make it thicker: For thicker gravy, reduce the milk slightly or let the gravy simmer longer.
Get a head start: You can make this ahead of time and reheat gently on the stovetop. Add a splash of milk if the gravy becomes too thick.
Make it without dairy: For a dairy-free option, use plant-based milk, such as unsweetened almond or oat milk, and a dairy-free butter substitute for the flour step.
