This recipe comes from my mom, via a well-worn index card. Simple to make, they tend to disappear very quickly! —wssmom

My friends from Kentucky do it this way: Crumble 8 oz. sausage into a heavy skillet over medium heat and saute until no longer pink. Remove sausage, using a slotted spoon, and set aside. Drain off all but 2 T fat from the skillet and return to heat. Stir in 2 T flour and cook, stirring, for a minute or two, scraping up sausage bits; add 1 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon minced sage, 1/2 teaspoon minced thyme, 1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules or 1/2 chicken bouillon cube. Continue stirring until thickened. Stir in reserved sausage and serve with regular biscuits.
