3. Biscuits & Gravy Bake

Fluffy buttermilk biscuits baked directly inside a rich, peppery homemade country sausage gravy for the ultimate Southern comfort dish.

• Yield: 8–10 servings
• Prep Time: 15 minutes | Bake Time: 25–30 minutes
• Pan Size: 9×13-inch baking dish
• Oven Temp: 350°F (175°C)

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground pork sausage (mild or hot)
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups whole milk (plus ¼ cup extra if gravy is too thick)
• 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated jumbo buttermilk biscuits (cut into pieces) or 1 ½ cups pre-cooked biscuit pieces
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp coarsely ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Cook Sausage: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the pork sausage, breaking it into small crumbles. Do not drain the fat.
2. Make the Gravy: Sprinkle ½ cup flour directly over the cooked sausage and stir continuously for 1–2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste. Slowly whisk in 2 cups of whole milk, stirring constantly until the gravy bubbles, thickens, and turns creamy. Season with ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp coarse black pepper. Remove from heat.
3. Assemble: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Cut raw biscuit dough into 1-inch quarters (or use pre-cooked biscuit chunks) and scatter half in the bottom of the dish.
4. Layer & Top: Pour the warm sausage gravy evenly over the biscuits. Top with the remaining biscuit pieces.
5. Bake: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes until the biscuit tops are deep golden brown and cooked through.
