Sausage Rich Gravy and Biscuit Pie

Ingredients:

1 lb breakfast sausage
¼ cup unsalted butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuits
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions:

Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and crumbled. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Make the Gravy: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden, forming a roux. Slowly whisk in milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
Season & Thicken: Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened. Stir in the cooked sausage.
Assemble: Cut the biscuits into quarters and scatter half of them in the baking dish. Pour the sausage gravy over the biscuits. Top with the remaining biscuit pieces and sprinkle with cheddar cheese (if using).
Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
Garnish & Serve: Let cool slightly, then sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.
