Sausage, Gravy and Biscuit Casserole

There’s something truly heartwarming about digging into a casserole dish brimming with fluffy biscuits, savory sausage, and rich gravy. Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that combines all these elements into one delicious meal—perfect for a cozy weekend breakfast or a comforting weeknight dinner. Let’s get into the details of making this Sausage, Gravy, and Biscuit Casserole.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb sausage: Choose your favorite type, whether spicy or mild!
• 2 cups milk: This will help create a creamy gravy.
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour: To thicken the gravy.
• 8 biscuits: You can opt for pre-made to save time, or make your own for that extra touch of homemade goodness.
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground sage: Adds a perfect herby background note.
• Optional: 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes to give a spicy kick.

Directions:

1. Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet, brown the sausage over medium heat, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
2. Make the Gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste. Gradually add the milk while continuously stirring to prevent any lumps. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Then, reduce the heat and let it simmer until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and sage for a beautiful depth of flavor.
3. Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the biscuits in a single layer in a 9×13 inch baking dish. This size is perfect for ensuring that each biscuit is soaked with enough gravy.
4. Assemble the Casserole: Pour the thickened sausage gravy evenly over the biscuits in the baking dish. Make sure the gravy covers all the biscuits to keep them moist while baking.
5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. You’re looking for the biscuits to become golden brown and the gravy to bubble around the edges, signaling it’s perfectly done.
