Ingredients
Scale
Sausage Gravy
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup 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)
Biscuit Topping
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the pie.
- Cook sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and crumbled. Retain about 2 tablespoons of the rendered fat in the pan for flavor.
- Make gravy: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour evenly over the sausage and stir to coat well. Cook this mixture for 1 to 2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Add milk: Slowly pour in the whole milk while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens into a creamy gravy, approximately 5 to 6 minutes.
- Season gravy: Stir in the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and if using, crushed red pepper flakes to add a touch of heat and flavor.
- Assemble pie: Transfer the prepared sausage gravy into a greased 9-inch pie dish, spreading it into an even layer.
- Add biscuits: Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough and arrange the biscuits over the sausage gravy to cover the surface completely.
- Brush tops: Lightly brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter to enhance browning and flavor during baking.
- Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Rest and serve: Let the pie sit for 5 minutes after baking to set, then slice and serve warm.
Notes
- You can use homemade biscuits if preferred for a more personalized touch.
- Add shredded cheddar cheese into the gravy for a delicious cheesy variation.
- This dish works great for brunch or as a comforting breakfast-for-dinner option.
