What You’ll Need (aka The Biscuit Dream Team)
Let’s keep it real—you probably have most of these in your kitchen already.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground sausage (Pork is classic, but feel free to sub turkey or chicken sausage)
- 2 cups milk (Whole milk = creamier, but use what you have)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 8 biscuits (Store-bought or homemade, we don’t judge)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground sage (Totally transforms the gravy!)
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes if you like things with a lil’ sass
👩‍🍳 Cook Mode: Prevent your screen from going dark.
(Seriously—because once your hands are covered in flour, you’re not unlocking your phone.)
How to Make This Sausage, Gravy, and Biscuit Pie
Step 1: Brown that Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until it’s golden brown and crumbly. Drain excess grease if needed—but leave a little for flavor. It’s the Southern way.
Step 2: Add the Flour
Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir it in like you mean it. Cook for 2 minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste.
Step 3: Make the Gravy
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking (or stirring) constantly. Turn the heat up to medium-high, bring it to a gentle boil, then reduce and let it simmer. Add salt, pepper, sage, and red pepper flakes if you’re feeling spicy. Let it thicken into silky, sausage-studded goodness.
Step 4: Biscuit Time
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Arrange your biscuits evenly on the bottom—like soft little pillows waiting for their gravy blanket.
Step 5: Pour and Bake
Ladle that glorious gravy over the biscuits. Pop it in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the biscuits are golden and everything is bubbly and beautiful.
Maria’s Tips for Making It Just Right
Hey y’all, Maria here! A few tips from my kitchen to yours:
- Want crispier biscuits? Place them upside down in the pan so the tops get golden.
- Going homemade with the biscuits? Freeze them for 5 minutes before baking—they hold their shape better.
- Add cheese to the gravy or over the top for a melty bonus round.
- Make it ahead: Assemble the night before and refrigerate. Just bake in the morning like a total breakfast wizard.
Also—don’t freak out if your gravy looks too thick or too thin. It’s kind of like life: it thickens up with a little patience (and heat).
My Sausage Gravy Story (aka: Why My Family Thinks I’m a Breakfast Queen)
True story: I made this dish one weekend when we had surprise guests (read: my in-laws showed up at 8 a.m. unannounced). I had biscuits, sausage, and milk, but no clue what to cook.
I threw this together with a hope and a prayer—and y’all, it was devoured in minutes. Now, my kids call it “Mom’s Famous Biscuit Pie,” and even my picky eater asks for seconds.
