Ingredients
Scale
Sausage Gravy
- 1 pound sausage
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Biscuits & Toppings
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits
- 1 cup shredded cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
- Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until it is browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.
- Mix Seasonings: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to create your seasoning mixture.
- Make Gravy: Slowly add the milk to the cooked sausage in the skillet, then stir in the flour and seasoning mixture. Cook on medium heat, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking, then break the refrigerated biscuits into pieces and spread them evenly across the bottom of the dish.
- Assemble Casserole: Pour the sausage gravy evenly over the biscuit pieces, ensuring all biscuits are covered well.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the casserole if you choose to use cheese.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuit tops are golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
Notes
- If you prefer a spicier gravy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes to the seasoning mixture.
- You can swap the sausage for a plant-based alternative to make this dish vegetarian-friendly.
- Using fresh biscuits will also work but may require additional baking time.
- For a lower-fat version, use turkey sausage and low-fat milk.
