This isn't a family recipe, but it's pretty good. Got if off the internet.

1 pound pork sausage
2 tablespoons onion finely chopped
6 tablespoons flour, all-purpose
1 quart milk
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning *
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg ground
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 d worcestershire sauce
1 d Tabasco (red)
1 can biscuit dough ready to bake

* A blend of herbs and spices, poultry seasoning usually contains sage, celery seed, thyme, savory, marjoram, onion, and pepper.

Directions

Cook sausage in a large pot, stirring and breaking the sausage into small chunks with a fork, until cooked, about 10 minutes.

Add onion; cook until soft and transparent, about 4 minutes. Drain, discarding all but 2 tablespoons of drippings. Return skillet to heat.

Sprinkle flour over sausage and stir to coat. Continue cooking over medium-low heat, stirring until flour forms a golden-brown crust on the bottom of the skillet, about 3 minutes.

Add milk, poultry seasoning, nutmeg, salt, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce. Cook, stirring, until thickened, about 5 minutes, scraping up and incorporating the browned crust from bottom of pan. Reduce heat to low, cover and keep warm.

To serve, split biscuits and place on individual plates. Ladle hot gravy over the biscuits and serve immediately.
