Ingredients:
- 1 lb sausage
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 8 biscuits (pre-made or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick
Directions:
- Cook the Sausage:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks.
- Make the Gravy:
- Sprinkle flour over the cooked sausage, stirring to incorporate. Cook for about 2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in the milk while stirring constantly. Increase heat to medium-high to bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and sage (and red pepper flakes if using).
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Assemble the Pie:
- Arrange the biscuits in a single layer in a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Pour the sausage gravy over the biscuits, ensuring they are well-covered.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
Helpful Tips:
- Homemade Biscuits: If you have time, homemade biscuits can elevate this dish to the next level.
- Gravy Consistency: If the gravy seems too thick, you can add a bit more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Spice Level: Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to suit your taste for a bit of heat.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve this pie hot, straight out of the oven.
- Pair it with a fresh fruit salad for a balanced meal.
- For a complete breakfast spread, consider adding scrambled eggs on the side.
FAQs:
- Can I make this dish ahead of time?
