Sausage, Rich Gravy, and Biscuit Pie – A True Comfort Food Favorite!
This cozy dish layers savory sausage, creamy gravy, and fluffy biscuits into one hearty bake that’s absolutely perfect for a laid-back family dinner or weekend brunch!
Ingredients:
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits (8-count)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, but delicious)
Instructions:

- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbly. Do not drain all the grease — leave about 2 tablespoons for the gravy.

- Sprinkle flour over the cooked sausage. Stir well to coat.
- Slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly. Cook until the mixture thickens into a rich gravy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Pie:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Pour the sausage gravy into a greased 9×9-inch or 8×8-inch baking dish.
- Cut each biscuit into quarters and arrange on top of the gravy.
- Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the biscuits if using.
- Bake:
- Bake for about 25–30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve:
- Let it cool for a few minutes, then spoon out generous portions and enjoy that warm, savory goodness!
