Cheesy Biscuit and Sausage Gravy Bake
This comforting dish combines flaky biscuits, savory sausage gravy, and melty cheese baked to golden perfection. Perfect for breakfast or brunch!
Equipment
- Large skillet
- Whisk
- Mixing bowl
- Baking dish (9x13-inch)
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 lb breakfast sausage mild or spicy, crumbled
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups milk whole or 2%
- 1 tsp salt or to taste
- 1 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits 8-count, large
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Break the sausage into crumbles as it cooks.
- Sprinkle the flour over the sausage in the skillet and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw taste of the flour.
- Gradually add the milk to the skillet while whisking continuously. Cook and stir until the mixture thickens into a creamy gravy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season the sausage gravy with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
- Pour half of the sausage gravy into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the gravy.
- Cut the refrigerated biscuits into quarters and arrange them evenly over the cheese layer.
- Pour the remaining sausage gravy over the biscuit pieces, ensuring they are mostly covered. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let the bake cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
Notes
For a spicier version, use hot sausage or add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the gravy. Serve with a side of scrambled eggs for a complete breakfast.
