Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb pork sausage
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits (about 8 biscuits)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Brown the Sausage: Place the pork sausage in a large skillet over medium heat and cook until fully browned, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. This step builds a flavorful base for the gravy.
- Make the Gravy: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour evenly over the cooked sausage, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste. Slowly whisk in the milk and continue stirring until the gravy thickens and becomes smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare the Casserole Base: Transfer the sausage gravy into a greased baking dish, spreading it in an even layer. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top; the cheese will melt into the gravy while baking.
- Add the Biscuits: Place the refrigerated biscuits directly on top of the gravy and cheese layer. You can cut the biscuits into halves or quarters if you prefer smaller bites or arrange them whole for a more rustic look.
- Bake Until Golden: Bake the casserole in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 25-30 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use quality fresh pork sausage with good seasoning for best flavor.
- Whisk the milk in slowly to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth, velvety gravy.
- Choose flaky, buttery biscuits for a light and fluffy topping.
- Allow the casserole to rest slightly after baking to let the gravy set.
- This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated overnight before baking.
