The Star Ingredients
- Flaky biscuits (the canned kind is totally fine, we won't judge)
- Your favorite breakfast sausage
- Flour (for that lovely, thick gravy)
- Milk (for a creamy sauce)
- Salt and pepper (for that essential flavor boost)
Let's Get Cooking!
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 7x10 inch casserole dish. Cut those biscuits into quarters - it helps them cook evenly in the casserole.
- Layer half of the biscuit quarters in the dish and bake for 10 minutes. They'll get a little toasty.
- Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook your sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it up into delicious bits.
- Sprinkle in the flour, stir it in, and cook for 3-5 minutes. This creates the base for your gravy.
- Now, add the milk gradually, stirring constantly. Keep adding until it reaches a consistency you love. Add salt and pepper, and you are almost there!
- Pour this beautiful gravy over your pre-baked biscuits, then top with the remaining biscuit quarters.
- Place on a baking sheet, bake for 25 minutes, or until it's all golden and bubbly. Let it cool slightly, but not too long.
Make it Your Own
- Add Veggies: Feel like bulking it up with some greens? Sautéed spinach or mushrooms would be delicious.
- Cheese Please: A sprinkle of cheddar cheese over the top before baking? Yes, please!
- Spice It Up: A pinch of red pepper flakes in the gravy can bring a delightful kick.
