Biscuit and Sausage Gravy
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 8 ounces ground breakfast sausage
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 can (16.3 ounces) refrigerated biscuits
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet.
- Cook the ground sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Cook the gravy, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and comes to a simmer, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Reduce the heat to low and let the gravy simmer while you prepare the biscuits.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake according to the package instructions, usually about 10-12 minutes, until golden brown.
- Split the biscuits in half and place them on serving plates. Spoon the sausage gravy over the biscuits and serve hot.
Biscuit and Sausage Gravy is a classic Southern dish that has been a staple in American cuisine for generations. The dish consists of fluffy, buttery biscuits smothered in a rich and creamy sausage gravy, creating a hearty and comforting meal. The origins of this dish can be traced back to the Southern United States, where it was a popular breakfast or brunch item. The gravy is typically made with crumbled sausage, flour, milk, and a blend of savory spices, creating a flavorful and indulgent topping for the tender biscuits. Chefs and home cooks alike have put their own unique spin on this beloved dish, with variations that include adding herbs, hot sauce, or even a splash of coffee to the gravy for an extra depth of flavor. Today, some of the best versions of Biscuit and Sausage Gravy can be found in renowned Southern restaurants and diners, where chefs take pride in perfecting the art of creating the creamiest, most decadent gravy to accompany their flakiest biscuits. When making this dish at home, it's crucial to nail the balance of flavors in the gravy, ensuring it's not too thick or too runny, and that the biscuits are baked to golden perfection. Some alternative methods for making this dish include using bacon or vegetarian sausage as a substitute for the traditional pork sausage, catering to different dietary preferences while still delivering on that comforting, soul-satisfying flavor.
