Units
Scale
- 1 lb sausage
- 2 cups milk
- 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 over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks.
- Make the Gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage in the skillet. Stir and cook for about 2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue to stir and simmer the gravy until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, ground sage, and crushed red pepper flakes if using.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Assemble the Pie: Arrange the biscuits in a greased baking dish, either whole or halved, depending on the size of your dish. Pour the sausage gravy evenly over the biscuits, making sure they are fully covered.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the gravy is bubbling.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let the pie cool slightly before serving. Serve warm and enjoy the comforting flavors of sausage, gravy, and biscuits in every bite.
Notes
- For added richness, you can sprinkle some shredded cheese on top of the gravy before baking.
- This dish pairs well with a side of scrambled eggs or a fresh fruit salad.
