Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb sausage (breakfast sausage or your preferred type)
- 2 cups milk (whole milk for creaminess)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 8 biscuits (pre-made or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (for a spicy kick)
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage:
In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until it’s browned. As it cooks, break the sausage into smaller pieces using a spatula. This ensures an even distribution of sausage in the gravy. - Make the Gravy:
Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir it in. Let the mixture cook for about 2 minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Increase the heat to medium-high, letting the mixture come to a boil. Once it begins to boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer until the gravy thickens, which will take about 5 minutes. Season the gravy with salt, pepper, and sage. If you want a spicier kick, add the crushed red pepper flakes. - Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). - Prepare the Biscuits:
Arrange the biscuits in a single layer in a 9×13-inch baking dish. You can use pre-made biscuits for ease, or homemade ones if you prefer a more personal touch. - Assemble the Pie:
Pour the sausage gravy evenly over the biscuits in the baking dish. The gravy should coat the biscuits completely. - Bake the Pie:
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits turn golden brown and the gravy is bubbly. - Serve:
Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving. This pie is perfect for breakfast or brunch, and it can be served with a side of fresh fruit or a salad for a balanced meal.
Notes
- Use Fresh Biscuits: Homemade biscuits will enhance the flavor and texture of the dish, but pre-made biscuits are a quick and convenient option.
- Customize the Sausage: You can use spicy sausage or a mild version, depending on your preference. Adding spicy sausage or red pepper flakes can kick up the heat.
- Extra Cheese: For an extra cheesy version, add shredded cheddar cheese on top of the biscuits before baking.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the sausage gravy in advance and refrigerate it until you’re ready to bake. Simply pour it over the biscuits and bake when ready.
- Vegetarian Option: If you prefer a vegetarian version, use plant-based sausage or mushrooms instead of meat for a similar texture and flavor.
