Ingredients

1 pound breakfast pork sausage
5 slices bacon
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried parsley
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups half-and-half, or more as needed
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground paprika

Steps:

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Leave grease in the skillet.
Heat the same skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot grease until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Do not drain off excess fat.
Crumble the bacon and add it back to the sausage, along with the onion and garlic. Saute over medium heat until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add dried parsley. Add flour and stir until all the flour is incorporated with the fat. Slowly add 2 cups half-and-half to the mixture. Stir in pepper, salt, and paprika. Cook over medium heat until thick. If the sauce it too thick, add more half-and-half.
