Let me tell you why I’m so obsessed with this bake:

-

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this masterpiece:
-
1 pound breakfast sausage
-
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
-
3 cups milk
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
-
2 (16.3 ounce) cans refrigerated biscuit dough
Okay, let’s get to the fun part! Here’s how to make this amazing Biscuits and Gravy Bake:
-
: In a large skillet, crumble and cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until it’s nicely browned. Drain off any excess grease.
-
: Reduce the heat to low. Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir well. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
-
: Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat and cook until the gravy has thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
-
: Stir in the salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
-
: While the gravy is simmering, open the cans of biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters.
-
: Pour the sausage gravy into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Evenly distribute the biscuit pieces over the gravy.
-
: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the gravy is bubbly.
-
: Let the bake cool for a few minutes before serving. This prevents it from being too runny.
This Biscuits and Gravy Bake is delicious on its own, but here are a few ideas to take it to the next level:
-
: Top each serving with a perfectly fried egg for extra richness.
-
: Sprinkle some chopped fresh chives or parsley over the bake for a pop of color and flavor.
-
: A dash of your favorite hot sauce adds a nice kick.
-
: Serve with a simple side salad to balance the richness of the bake.
-
: Complement the savory flavors with a refreshing fruit salad.
Want to put your own spin on this recipe? Here are some ideas:
-
: Use different types of sausage, like Italian sausage or chorizo, for a unique flavor.
-
: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack cheese over the biscuits before baking.
-
: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the gravy for some heat.
-
: Sauté some diced onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms with the sausage for added nutrients and flavor.
-
: Use vegetarian sausage crumbles and vegetable broth instead of milk for a vegetarian version.

Yes, you can assemble the bake ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator overnight. Add about 5-10 minutes to the baking time.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

I don’t recommend freezing the assembled bake, as the biscuits may become soggy. However, you can freeze the sausage gravy separately.
