• 1 can refrigerated biscuits

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• In a skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until browned. Stir in flour until dissolved.
• Gradually stir in milk, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until mixture thickens.
• Press biscuits onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased pie dish. Pour sausage gravy over top.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown.

Helpful tips:

• For added flavor, consider adding diced onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms to the sausage mixture.
• You can use store-bought or homemade biscuits for this recipe.
• Top the baked pie with some freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.
• If you prefer a spicier kick, you can use hot sausage instead of regular sausage.
• For a healthier version, try using turkey sausage and low-fat milk in the gravy.
• Serve the pie with a side of scrambled eggs for a complete breakfast meal.
• You can also make mini versions of this pie using muffin tins for individual servings.
• Experiment with different seasonings like thyme, sage, or paprika to customize the flavor profile.
• Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven or microwave.
• Feel free to add shredded cheese on top before baking for an extra cheesy touch.

Expert Secrets:

• Make sure to cook the sausage until fully browned to develop rich flavor in the gravy.
• Whisk the flour into the sausage drippings evenly to avoid lumps in the gravy.
• Slowly pour in the milk while continuously stirring to prevent clumping and ensure a smooth consistency.
• Season the gravy to taste, adjusting the salt and pepper as needed for your preference.
• Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving to let the flavors meld together.
• Rotate the pie dish halfway through baking to ensure even browning of the biscuits.
• Test the doneness of the biscuits by inserting a toothpick into the center to ensure they are fully cooked.
• Let the pie rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the gravy to thicken slightly before serving.
• Consider adding a touch of hot sauce or Worcestershire sauce to the gravy for extra depth of flavor.
• Serve the pie with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a well-rounded meal.
