Ingredients
– 8 cups all-purpose flour

– 1/8 teaspoon thyme
– 1/8 teaspoon rosemary
– 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
– Black pepper to taste

Instructions
1-Cook the sausage in a large saucepan and use a paper towel to remove most of the grease for a lighter result.
2-Add the flour, butter, and half and half to the pan, then cook over medium-low heat while stirring frequently until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes.
3-Mix in the thyme, rosemary, crushed red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt to taste, adjusting for your preferred spice level.
4-Serve the hot sausage gravy right over warm, flaky homemade biscuits, and if you like, add roasted potatoes or eggs for a heartier plate.
