Ingredients
Scale
Sausage Gravy
- 1 lb hot breakfast sausage
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon Lawry’s seasoned salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
Biscuit Topping
- 1 (16 oz) can refrigerated biscuits
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
- Brown the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the hot breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula as it browns. Continue cooking until the sausage is fully cooked and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
- Add the Flour: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the browned sausage. Stir constantly for about 1 minute, ensuring the flour absorbs the fat and any raw taste cooks out.
- Make the Gravy: Gradually pour in the whole milk while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Allow the mixture to simmer, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens and becomes creamy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season the Gravy: Stir in Lawry’s seasoned salt and black pepper, mixing well to evenly distribute the seasonings through the gravy.
- Assemble the Bake: Pour the sausage gravy into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Prepare the Biscuits: Open the can of refrigerated biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters. Evenly arrange the biscuit pieces over the top of the sausage gravy.
- Bake: Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the bake to cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
Notes
- Use regular or mild sausage if you prefer less spice.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of crushed red pepper or a handful of shredded cheddar over the gravy before adding the biscuits.
- Biscuit bake can be assembled the night before and baked fresh in the morning; just add 5-10 extra minutes to baking time if starting from cold.
- To reheat leftovers, cover with foil and bake at 325°F until warmed through, or microwave individual portions.
