Camper's Sausage Gravy Delight

Travis and I love to go car camping but don't like to skimp on the food. I always like to make sausage gravy at home, put it in a tupperware, and bring it camping in a cooler. It is always so good to wake up after a night of car camping and eat a warm, hearty, home cooked meal. We just throw it in a cast iron on the fire or camp stove, heat it up, and serve with biscuits. I premake the biscuits at home and put them in a zip lock bag. I don't make my own biscuits because Grand's Buttermilk Biscuits are an absolute favorite in our house, and if it ain't broke why fix it?

Ingredients
Serves 4 (or 2 hungry campers)

1/2 pound bulk pork sausage
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Directions
In a saucepan, cook the sausage over medium heat until no longer pink. Stir in butter until melted. Sprinkle with flour. Gradually stir in milk, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes, or until thickened. Serve over biscuits or place in a tupperware for later use.
