Ingredients
Cooking spray
2 (16.3-oz.) can refrigerated biscuits
2 lb. Italian sausage, casings removed
3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 1/2 c. milk
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Pinch cayenne pepper
2 tbsp. melted butter
1 tbsp. freshly chopped chives, for garnish
Preparation
Step 1Preheat oven to 375° and grease a 9"-x-13" baking pan with cooking spray. Cut biscuits into quarters and add half to prepared pan. Bake until golden, 12 to 15 minutes.Step 2Meanwhile, make gravy: In a large skillet over medium heat, add sausage and cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Add flour and cook 1 minute more. Pour in milk and whisk to combine. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Step 3Bring gravy to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and pour gravy over par-baked biscuits, then top with remaining biscuits. Brush biscuits with melted butter and season with black pepper. Step 4Bake until golden and cooked through, 20 minutes.Step 5Garnish with chives before serving.
*UPDATE: Due to comments concerning underdone biscuits, we now recommend par baking the first layer of biscuits while the gravy is being prepared. Though this change is not reflected in the video, the process recipe is correct. Made this? Let us know how it went in the comment section below!
