How to Make the Recipe

1. Cook the Sausage

Grab a big ol’ skillet and toss in your sausage. Cook it up over medium heat until it’s browned and cooked through, breaking it up as you go.

2. Make the Gravy

Once the sausage is cooked, sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir well to coat. Let it cook for about 2 minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste.

3. Add the Milk

Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly. Turn up the heat to medium-high and let the mixture come to a boil. Then, reduce the heat and let it simmer until the gravy thickens up, about 5 minutes. Add salt, pepper, and sage to taste. If you’re feeling spicy, toss in those red pepper flakes.

4. Preheat the Oven

While the gravy is thickening, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

5. Prepare the Biscuits

Grab a 9×13 inch baking dish and place your biscuits in there, spacing them out so they have room to rise.

6. Pour the Gravy

Once your gravy is thick and creamy, pour it all over the biscuits in the dish.

7. Bake

Pop the dish in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed up.

How to Serve

Serve this dish piping hot! It’s great for breakfast, but honestly, it’s so hearty you could eat it for lunch or dinner too. I like to top mine with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or even a dash of hot sauce for some extra zing. Pair it with scrambled eggs or a simple salad for a complete meal.

Make Ahead

This dish is perfect for prepping ahead. You can cook the sausage and make the gravy the night before. In the morning, just pour the gravy over the biscuits and pop it in the oven. You’ll have a comforting, homemade breakfast in no time!

FAQs

Can I use homemade biscuits?

Absolutely! If you have a go-to biscuit recipe, by all means, use it. Just make sure the biscuits are baked through before serving.

What other toppings can I add?

Feel free to add shredded cheese, chives, or even crumbled bacon on top before baking for an extra layer of flavor.

How do I store leftovers?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop it in the oven until warmed through.

There you have it—the perfect comforting breakfast or brunch. This Sausage, Gravy, and Biscuit Pie is the kind of dish that brings everyone to the table and keeps them there until every last bite is gone. Enjoy!
