Sausage Gravy & Biscuits Casserole Ingredients
- 1 pound sausage
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup shredded cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
- Cook sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until it is fully browned and no longer pink, breaking it up as it cooks.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder thoroughly.
- Make sausage gravy: Pour the 2 cups of milk into the skillet with the cooked sausage, then gradually stir in the flour mixture. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens into a creamy gravy.
- Prepare casserole dish: Grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and place pieces of refrigerated biscuits evenly on the bottom of the dish.
- Assemble casserole: Pour the hot sausage gravy evenly over the biscuit pieces, spreading to cover all biscuits.
- Add cheese topping: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top if you wish to add a cheesy layer.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the top is golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
Notes
- Using refrigerated biscuit dough allows for a quick shortcut versus making biscuits from scratch.
- Feel free to substitute milk with a dairy-free option for lactose sensitivity.
- The cheese is optional but adds a delicious melty topping.
- You can add extra black pepper or spice for more heat if desired.
- Make sure to cook the sausage thoroughly to ensure safety and proper flavor development.
