let's do it
  1. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Continue cooking about 4–5 minutes, breaking up the sausage until no more pink appears.
  2. Transfer the cooked sausage to a plate with a slotted spoon. You should have approximately 2–3 Tbsp of fat. If the sausage was too lean, then add oil and let it heat to a shimmer.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the fat and whisk for 1 minute. Pour in the milk and add salt; continue to whisk. Increase heat and bring mixture to a boil, add paprika and simmer for 2 more minutes. The mixture will thicken.
  4. Reduce to a simmer and add the sausage back into the gravy and rewarm. Taste for seasoning, add fresh cracked pepper and serve over your favorite biscuits. So, so good! Yum!
