Ingredients:
| INGREDIENTS | QUANTITIES |
|---|---|
| Refrigerated biscuit dough (16.3 oz can) | 1 can |
| Ground breakfast sausage | 1 pound |
| All-purpose flour | 3 tablespoons |
| Milk | 2 and 1/2 cups |
| Black pepper | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Salt | 1/4 teaspoon |
| Shredded cheddar cheese (optional) | 1 cup (optional) |
| Fresh parsley, chopped (optional) | For garnish (optional) |
Instructions:
Preheat Your Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F: Begin by setting the oven temperature and lightly greasing a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Brown the Sausage
- Brown the sausage: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, thoroughly cook the ground breakfast sausage, crumbling it with your spatula. Once cooked, evenly scatter the sausage in the baking dish.
Prepare the Roux
- Create the roux: In the same skillet, reserve about 2 tablespoons of sausage grease. Sprinkle flour over the grease and whisk to create a roux. Cook for about a minute to eliminate any floury taste.
Make the Gravy
- Whisk in the milk: Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer, whisking until it thickens into a creamy gravy.
Season and Pour
- Season and pour: Season the gravy with black pepper and salt. Pour the creamy goodness over the sausage in the baking dish.
Add Biscuit Pieces
- Prepare the biscuits: Separate the biscuit dough into individual biscuits, then cut each biscuit into quarters. Scatter the biscuit pieces on top of the gravy.
Bake to Perfection
- Bake in the oven: Slide the dish into the oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes or until the biscuits turn golden brown. If using cheese, sprinkle it over the top 5 minutes before the casserole is done.
Let It Sit and Garnish
- Allow to sit and garnish: Let the casserole sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color, if desired.
