1 (16 oz) can refrigerated flaky biscuits (or homemade)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
2 tbsp melted butter
1 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish)
(Optional add-ins: sautéed onions, mushrooms, or diced jalapeños!)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Cook the Sausage
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, brown sausage over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles.
2. Make the Gravy
Sprinkle flour over cooked sausage and stir for 1 minute to cook off raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Add pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne (if using).
Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until thickened.
3. Assemble the Pie
Pour gravy into a 9x13-inch baking dish (or deep pie dish).
Tear biscuits into quarters and arrange over the gravy.
(Optional) Sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
Drizzle with melted butter.
4. Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Pro Tips for the Best Biscuit Pie

🔹 Don’t skip the flour cook-off – Prevents a pasty gravy.
🔹 For extra flaky biscuits – Brush with butter halfway through baking.
🔹 Make ahead? Prep the gravy, refrigerate, and assemble before baking.
