Ingredients
Scale
For the Sausage Gravy:
- 24 oz pork sausage, raw
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup flour
- 5 cups milk
- 3 tsp salt, or to taste
- 2 tsp black pepper, or to taste
For the Biscuit Topping:
- 16.3 oz refrigerated biscuits
- 1 large egg, beaten
Instructions
1. Prepare the Sausage Gravy:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a deep skillet over medium heat, cook the pork sausage, breaking it into crumbles until fully browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter, scraping up any flavorful browned bits.
- Whisk in the flour, ensuring it’s fully combined.
- Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously to prevent clumps. Bring to a boil and cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened.
- Return the cooked sausage to the skillet, stirring to combine.
- Add salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer for 30-60 seconds on low heat.
2. Assemble the Casserole:
- Grease a 9″x13″ baking dish and pour in the sausage gravy.
- Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces and evenly spread them over the gravy.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush over the biscuit pieces.
3. Bake and Serve:
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and fully cooked.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Extra Flavor: Add a pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika for a slight kick.
- Make It Spicier: Use spicy sausage or add red pepper flakes to the gravy.
- Dairy-Free Option: Swap milk for unsweetened almond or oat milk and use a dairy-free butter substitute.
