For the Sausage and Gravy

  • 3/4 tsp Salt Enhances overall flavor of the casserole.
  • 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper Adds a hint of heat to the gravy.
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper Adds depth to the flavor profile; freshly ground is preferred.
For the Roux
  • 3 tbsp Butter Use room temperature for easy mixing.
  • 1/2 cup Flour Consider all-purpose flour like King Arthur for best results.
  • 4.5 cups Milk Main liquid that forms the base of the gravy.
For the Biscuit Base

Equipment

  • 13 x 9 inch glass baking pan
  • medium pot

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and coat a 13 x 9 inch baking pan with oil cooking spray.
  2. In a medium pot over medium heat, cook the ground pork sausage thoroughly, breaking it into small crumbles as it browns for 5-7 minutes.
  3. Transfer the cooked sausage to the prepared baking dish and blot any excess grease with a paper towel.
  4. In the same pot, melt the butter and stir in the flour, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to create a roux, cooking for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Gradually whisk in the milk into the roux, stirring continuously until it thickens to a gravy-like consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Pour the thick gravy over the sausage in the baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  7. Cut the refrigerator biscuits into quarters and layer the pieces evenly on top of the gravy.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and biscuits are fully cooked.
  9. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
