  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 30 g
  • 2 1/2 cups milk, whole or 2% 600 ml
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder optional
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes optional for heat

Method
 

Sausage Gravy

  1. Preheat Oven and Dish:

    Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

  2. Brown Sausage:

    In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage completely, breaking it into small bits. Pour off any extra fat.
Biscuit Casserole

  1. Make Gravy:

    Dust flour over the cooked sausage and stir for 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw taste. Slowly pour in milk while whisking, ensuring no lumps form. Let simmer 5-7 minutes until sauce thickens. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and optional red pepper flakes to taste.

  2. Cut Biscuits:

    Slice each biscuit into halves or quarters based on preferred size.

  3. Layer Casserole:

    Place half the biscuit pieces in the bottom of the prepared dish. Spoon half the gravy over them. Top with remaining biscuit pieces, then pour over the rest of the gravy. If using, scatter cheese on top.

  4. Bake Casserole:

    Bake uncovered 20-25 minutes until biscuits are golden brown and casserole is bubbly.

  5. Rest and Garnish:

    Allow to rest 5 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley or chives before serving.
