Equipment

  • 9x13 oven-safe casserole dish
  • Whisk
  • Large non-stick skillet or cast iron skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground pork breakfast sausage
  • ¼ cup butter
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 8 refrigerated canned biscuits

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13 oven-proof casserole dish with butter or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Add the sausage to a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small pieces with a fork or potato masher. Cook and stir until it is cooked through, about 12-15 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the sausage and transfer it to the casserole dish. Leave any grease in the pan.
  • To make the roux, add the butter to the skillet; when it is melted, add the flour, salt, and pepper. Use a whisk to stir and let this mixture cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the milk slowly while whisking. Continue whisking until the gravy bubbles and is smooth with no lumps. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the gravy begins to thicken.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and pour over the sausage; stir until all of the sausage is coated with the gravy.
  • Place the biscuits on top of the sausage gravy. Bake for 25 minutes or until the biscuits are cooked through and golden brown on top.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite breakfast side dishes.

Notes

This dish is best served while hot right out of the oven.
A whisk is your best friend when making gravy. Whisk, whisk, and whisk some more until your gravy is smooth and lump-free.
