Ingredients
- 8 jumbo refrigerated biscuits
- 1 lb ground breakfast sausage
- 1 bunch fresh sage or 1 teaspoon ground sage
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅓ cup all purpose flour
- 3 cups 2% milk
- salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray an 8x8 baking dish with cooking spray.
- Cut 4 of the biscuits into quarters and arrange into a layer in the baking dish.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- In a large skillet, add the ground sausage, sage, crushed red pepper and garlic powder. Cook, crumbling the sausage into small pieces until it's browned and cooked through. Discard fresh sage.
- Sprinkle the flour on top of the ground sausage and stir in.
- Stir sausage with one hand and pour in the milk with the other, mixing until combined. Over medium high heat, bring the mixture to a boil while stirring frequently. Reduce to a simmer and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Once the sausage gravy has thickened, about 3-4 minutes, pour it on top of the biscuits in the prepared baking dish.
- Cut the remaining 4 biscuits into quarters and arrange on top of the sausage gravy. Brush over the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes more or until biscuits are golden brown.
Notes
- If you don't have fresh sage, use 1 teaspoon ground sage or poultry seasoning and stir into the sausage while it is cooking.
- English muffins may be used as a replacement for biscuits.
- If not baking into a casserole, sausage gravy may be served over hash browns or toast.
