Buttermilk Biscuits and Sausage Gravy

This is another serious comfort food.  So creamy, so savory, so delicious!  You have to try this one.  I did not make the biscuits from scratch, as I do not have much time on my hands.  However, the biscuits were absolutely perfect with the gravy.  I used sage pork sausage, which gives the gravy even more flavor.  Enjoy!
Ingredients:
-8 buttermilk biscuits
-1 lb sage pork sausage
-1/4 cup finely chopped onion
-2-3 Tbs butter, if needed
-6 Tbs flour
-1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
-1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
-1/4 tsp salt
-2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
-2 dashes Tabasco sauce
-4 cups whole or 2% milk (don't go lower than that-you need the fat for the creaminess)
Directions:
Crumble the sausage in a large saucepan and cook until no longer pink.  Stir in the onions and cook for about 5 minutes. 
If there are less than about 3 Tbs drippings in the pan, add enough butter to equal that much.  Sprinkle the flour over the sausage.  Stir and cook for about 6 minutes, until the mixture starts bubbling and turns slightly golden brown.
Stir in poultry seasoning, nutmeg, salt, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco sauce.  Cook for 1 minute. Slowly, add  the milk and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened (about 15 minutes).
Pour gravy over biscuits.  Enjoy!
