Ingredients
Scale
Sausage Gravy:
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Additional:
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles. Do not drain the grease unless excessive.
- Make the gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to coat. Cook for 1–2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes if using. Cook until the gravy thickens, about 5–7 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Prepare the casserole: Cut the biscuit dough into quarters. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and scatter half of the biscuit pieces in the bottom. Pour the sausage gravy evenly over the biscuits, then top with remaining biscuit pieces. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
- Bake: Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and cooked through. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a dash of hot sauce to the gravy or mix in chopped green onions.
- You can use homemade biscuits if preferred—just cut them into bite-sized pieces before assembling.
