📋 Ingredients
- 🥫 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 🍖 1 lb breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
- 🧴 1 tbsp butter
- 🧂 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 🥛 2 cups milk (whole milk preferred for richness)
- 🧂 Salt and black pepper, to taste
📝 Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. - Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it up with a spatula until browned and fully cooked. Transfer to a plate and set aside. - Make the Gravy
In the same skillet, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk and continue stirring until the gravy thickens, about 4–5 minutes. Add the cooked sausage back in and season with salt and pepper. - Assemble the Casserole
Cut the biscuit dough into quarters and scatter them evenly across the bottom of your baking dish. Pour the sausage gravy mixture on top, spreading it evenly. - Bake
Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and fully cooked through. - Cool and Serve
Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs or cracked pepper for a finishing touch if desired.
🔁 Tips & Swaps
- Make it spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne or crushed red pepper flakes to the gravy for a kick.
- Cheesy upgrade: Mix shredded cheddar into the gravy or sprinkle on top before baking.
- Meat alternatives: Use turkey sausage, plant-based sausage, or even chopped bacon.
- Make-ahead tip: Prepare everything the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake in the morning as usual.
