🧂 Sausage Gravy and Biscuit Pie

🕒 Prep Time: 20 minutes

⏱️ Cook/Bake Time: 30–35 minutes

🍽️ Serves: 6–8

📝 Ingredients

For the Sausage Gravy:

1 lb breakfast sausage (pork, turkey, or spicy)
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2½ cups milk (whole milk works best)
½ tsp black pepper (or to taste)
Optional: pinch of salt, garlic powder, or crushed red pepper

For the Biscuit Crust:

1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
OR use your favorite homemade biscuit dough

👩‍🍳 Instructions

🔹 1. Preheat Oven

Preheat to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or deep-dish skillet.

🔹 2. Make the Sausage Gravy

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbled.
Do not drain all the fat — leave about 2 tablespoons in the pan.
Sprinkle in the flour and stir to coat the sausage; cook 1–2 minutes.
Gradually whisk in the milk and stir until thickened (about 5–7 minutes).
Season with pepper and optional seasonings to taste.

🔹 3. Prepare the Biscuit Base

Separate biscuits and flatten each slightly with your hands.
Press biscuits into the bottom and sides of your pie dish, overlapping as needed to form a crust.
Spoon the hot sausage gravy into the biscuit-lined dish.

🔹 4. Top & Bake

If desired, place a few biscuit rounds or halves on top (leave space for expansion).
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and cooked through.

🔹 5. Cool & Serve

Let sit 5–10 minutes before slicing.
Serve as-is or with hot sauce, chopped chives, or a fried egg on top.

🧀 Optional Add-Ins:

Shredded cheddar cheese stirred into the gravy
Green onions or sautéed mushrooms
Swap in gravy mix packets for a quicker shortcut
