Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb sausage
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits
- 1 cup shredded cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 cups milk
- ¼ cup flour
Seasonings:
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp onion powder
Instructions
- Heat your oven precisely to 350°F and prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Crumble 1 lb of sausage into a skillet, cooking over medium heat until fully browned and no pink remains, about 8-10 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked sausage to a separate bowl, keeping 2-3 tablespoons of drippings in the skillet.
- Sprinkle ¼ cup flour into the skillet drippings, whisking constantly for 60 seconds to create a roux.
- Slowly pour 2 cups of milk into the roux, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
- Season the gravy with 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper, ¼ tsp garlic powder, and ¼ tsp onion powder.
- Cut the refrigerated biscuits into quarters and gently fold them with the cooked sausage.
- Spread the sausage and biscuit mixture evenly across your prepared baking dish.
- Pour the entire gravy mixture over the sausage and biscuits, ensuring complete coverage.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese across the top of the dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the top turns golden brown and cheese melts completely.
Notes
- Use room temperature milk to help gravy blend smoothly and prevent lumps.
- Choose a high-quality breakfast sausage for deeper flavor in the dish.
- Break sausage into smaller pieces while cooking to ensure even distribution throughout the bake.
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half with whole milk and use turkey sausage instead of pork.
