Kitchen Essentials
Ingredients
- 32 Ounces refrigerator Biscuits 2 cans I used Grands Buttermilk Southern Style, use the ones that you prefer
- 1 Pound Ground Breakfast Sausage pork or turkey sausage, I used Sweet Italian Sausage
- 1/4 Cup All-Purpose Flour
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 3 Cups Milk whole, skim milk, or your preference
- 1 Teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Onion Powder
- Optional: 3/4 cup cheddar cheese or pepper jack cheese for extra flavor
Instructions
- Step-by-Step Instructions. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Sausage and Make the Gravy. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the pound sausage until fully cooked. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked sausage to a plate, leaving 2 Tablespoons of the drippings in the pan.1 Pound Ground Breakfast Sausage
- Reduce heat to medium heat. Add the butter. Once melted add the flour. Cook for 1-2 minutes and whisk to make a roux.1/4 Cup All-Purpose Flour, 2 Tablespoons Butter
- Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Season with black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.3 Cups Milk, 1 Teaspoon Black Pepper, 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder, 1 Teaspoon Onion Powder
- Let the gravy simmer until it is thickened. For homemade sausage gravy, stir the sausage back into the mixture.
- Assemble Your Casserole. Keep the biscuits whole or cut the biscuit dough into quarters. Arrange 1 can on the bottom of the baking dish.32 Ounces refrigerator Biscuits
- Pour the savory gravy mixture evenly over the biscuit pieces to create a rich biscuit layer.
- If you're using cheese, sprinkle it on top for melty cheese goodness.Optional: 3/4 cup cheddar cheese or pepper jack cheese for extra flavor
- Add the remaining biscuit pieces on top in a single layer
- Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 20-25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes to allow the biscuits to turn golden brown. Total baking time is approximately 40 minutes.
- Serve and Enjoy. Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. It’s delicious on its own, but a drizzle of extra gravy, a sprinkle of green onion, or a dash of hot sauce makes it even better.
