  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6-8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • Flaky biscuits (store-bought or homemade), quantity depending on casserole size

Sausage Gravy

  • 1 lb ground breakfast sausage
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for GF version)
  • 2 cups milk
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional

  • Shredded sharp cheddar or pepper jack cheese, for sprinkling on top or mixing in

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Biscuits: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the biscuits into halves or quarters depending on their size and arrange them evenly in a greased casserole dish to form the base layer that will soak up the gravy.
  2. Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small, bite-size pieces for even flavor distribution.
  3. Make the Gravy: Remove most of the fat from the pan, leaving about 2 tablespoons for flavor. Add butter and flour to the drippings and whisk continuously to form a roux. Slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly to create a smooth gravy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  4. Assemble the Casserole: Pour the creamy sausage gravy evenly over the biscuit pieces spread in the casserole dish. If desired, sprinkle shredded cheese on top before baking for an extra indulgent twist.
  5. Bake Until Golden and Bubbly: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the biscuits are cooked through and the gravy is bubbling and lightly browned on top.

Notes

  • Use cold butter for homemade biscuits to achieve a flakier texture.
  • Stir the gravy just enough to combine the flour and milk to avoid lumps.
  • Allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes before serving so it sets well.
  • If the gravy becomes too thick, add more milk to adjust the consistency.
  • Season sausage and gravy separately to balance the flavors perfectly.
