Ingredients
- ½ pound ground pork sausage
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 ¼ cups whole milk, room temperature
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 can (8-count) Southern homestyle buttermilk biscuits, not flaky
- ¼ cup Challenge® Butter Snack Spread Lawry’s Seasoned Salt, softened, divided
- Parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage Gravy:
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the pork sausage until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the flour, stirring to combine. Slowly pour in the milk. Stir frequently until the mixture thickens (about 8-10 minutes). Add pepper and garlic powder. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare the Biscuits:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 12-inch oven-safe skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
- Remove the biscuits from the can and place them on a clean work surface. Using a rolling pin, flatten each biscuit to about ⅛-inch thickness.
- Assemble the Bombs:
- Place 2 heaping tablespoons of the sausage mixture on top of each flattened biscuit. Pinch the edges of the biscuit together to seal the mixture inside.
- Place the sealed biscuits, seam-side down, into the prepared skillet. Brush the tops with the seasoned butter, reserving some to brush over the warm biscuits.
- Bake and Serve:
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with the remaining seasoned butter. Serve warm, garnished with parsley.
