Ingredients
Scale
Sausage and Gravy
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Pie Assembly
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Brown the sausage: Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbled. Use a slotted spoon to remove the sausage and set it aside, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
- Make the roux and gravy: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk constantly for 1–2 minutes until a smooth roux forms and turns lightly golden.
- Add milk and thicken gravy: Gradually whisk in the whole milk, continuing to whisk constantly to prevent lumps. Cook for about 5–7 minutes until the gravy thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Season the gravy: Stir in the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) for a balanced savory flavor. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and mix well to combine.
- Assemble the pie: Lightly grease a 9-inch pie or baking dish. Pour the sausage gravy mixture evenly into the dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the gravy layer.
- Top with biscuits: Cut each biscuit in half horizontally, then arrange the halves biscuit-side up over the cheese layer to cover the pie completely.
- Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Rest and garnish: Remove from the oven and let the pie rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired for a pop of color and freshness.
Notes
- For extra flavor, use spicy sausage or add chopped green onions to the gravy.
- You can substitute homemade biscuits instead of refrigerated dough for a more rustic taste.
- The dish can be prepared a day ahead and reheated gently in the oven.
