Sausage, Gravy, and Biscuit Pie

Why I Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it’s the epitome of comfort food. The rich, creamy sausage gravy nestled between layers of buttery biscuits offers a satisfying meal that’s both filling and flavorful. It’s also versatile and can be enjoyed at any time of the day.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 1 lb ground sausage

• 2 cups milk

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

• 1/2 teaspoon ground sage (optional)

• 1 package of refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven: I set my oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Cook the sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, I cook the sausage until browned, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.

3. Make the gravy: I sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir to combine, cooking for about 2 minutes. Then, I gradually add the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a creamy gravy. I season it with salt, pepper, and sage.

4. Assemble the pie: In a 9×13-inch baking dish, I arrange the biscuits in a single layer. I pour the sausage gravy over the biscuits, ensuring they are well covered.

5. Bake: I place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.

6. Serve: After baking, I let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving.

Storage and Reheating

FAQs

Can I use homemade biscuits instead of refrigerated ones?

Yes, I can use homemade biscuit dough. I prepare the dough as usual and proceed with the recipe.

Can I make this dish ahead of time?

Absolutely. I assemble the pie, cover it, and refrigerate it overnight. When ready to bake, I bring it to room temperature and bake as directed.

Can I freeze the Sausage, Gravy, and Biscuit Pie?

Yes, I can freeze the baked pie. I let it cool completely, wrap it tightly, and freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, I thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and bake at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.

What type of sausage works best for this recipe?

I prefer using breakfast sausage, but Italian sausage or spicy sausage can also be used for different flavor profiles.

Can I add eggs to this dish?

Yes, I can add scrambled eggs to the sausage gravy before pouring it over the biscuits for an extra hearty meal.
