Meanwhile, prepare gravy.
In a heavy skillet, brown the ground breakfast sausage over medium high heat until fully cooked.
Sprinkle the cooked sausage with 3 Tablespoons of flour.
Use a wooden spoon to stir flour into sausage until completely absorbed.
Lower heat to medium, and cook flour/sausage mixture for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add milk, and stir to combine.
Add salt and black pepper.
Stir frequently until mixture comes to a slight boil.
Taste, and adjust seasonings as desired. (I usually add more black pepper)
If the gravy is too thick, add a bit more milk. You want the gravy to be thickened but not too thick, not "globby," it should still be slightly runny.
