Instructions

1
Pull off small pieces of the breakfast sausage with your fingers and add them to a large skillet in a single layer. Sprinkle the chopped onion evenly over top, if using. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is no longer pink and the onion is softened, 8 to 10 minutes.
2
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to coat. Let it cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flour is lightly toasted.
3
While stirring, pour in the milk. Increase the heat to medium-high. Once the mixture boils and thickens, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the seasoned salt, black pepper, and sage or thyme, if using, and let it simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

Season with salt and more pepper to taste. Serve over warm biscuits.
