Ingredients
Scale
Sausage Gravy
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or ½ teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
Biscuit Topping
- 1 can (16.3 ounces) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- Melted butter for brushing (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or deep-dish skillet to prevent sticking during baking.
- Cook Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until it is browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles. Leave the fat in the pan for flavor and moisture.
- Make Gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir well to coat. Cook for 1–2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in the whole milk, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens to a creamy consistency. Stir in salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and thyme if using. Remove from heat.
- Assemble Pie: Pour the sausage gravy evenly into the prepared pie dish. Cut each biscuit in half horizontally to make two thinner rounds and arrange them on top of the gravy, slightly overlapping as needed. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the biscuits if desired for added flavor and melty richness.
- Bake: Bake the assembled pie for 20–25 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. If the tops start to brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil for the last 5–10 minutes of baking to prevent burning.
- Finish and Serve: If desired, brush the biscuit tops with melted butter as soon as you remove the pie from the oven for extra richness and shine. Let the pie rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
- For a richer gravy, stir in a bit of cream cheese while making the sausage gravy.
- This recipe can be made in a cast iron skillet for a rustic, one-pan presentation and easy serving.
- Baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven; watch the biscuits closely to avoid over-browning.
