Ingredients
 

Sausage Gravy

  • 1 lb pork breakfast sausage
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 0.33 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cup whole milk warm for best thickening
  • 0.75 tsp kosher salt adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.25 tsp onion powder
  • 0.25 tsp crushed red pepper flakes optional, for heat

Assembly

  • 16 oz refrigerated buttermilk biscuit dough cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese divided
  • 1 tsp neutral oil for greasing the baking dish
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley optional, for garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with the oil.
  • Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small crumbles.
  • Melt the butter in the skillet with the sausage. Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring, 1–2 minutes.
  • Slowly whisk in the milk until smooth. Simmer, stirring often, until thick and bubbly, 4–6 minutes.
  • Season the gravy with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Remove from heat.
  • Cut the biscuit dough into quarters or small bite-size pieces.
  • Fold the biscuit pieces and half of the cheddar into the hot sausage gravy.
  • Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared dish. Sprinkle with the remaining cheddar.
  • Bake until biscuits are cooked through and the top is golden, 22–28 minutes. If browning early, tent with foil.
  • Rest 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Make it spicy: swap in hot sausage or add diced jalapeños with the cheese. For a crispy top, broil 1–2 minutes at the end. Refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days; reheat at 350°F until warmed through, about 10 minutes. This also freezes well in portions for quick breakfasts.
