How to Make Sausage Gravy and Biscuit Pie
Ingredients
- Sausage: 1 pound of ground sausage preferably sage or spicy, for a robust flavor.
- Milk: 2 cups of whole milk for a creamy gravy.
- Flour: 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour to thicken the gravy.
- Seasonings: 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon ground sage, and an optional 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes.
- Puff Pastry: 1 package thawed or homemade, for a flaky crust.
Instructions
Prepare the Sausage Gravy:
- In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles until browned (7-10 minutes).
- Sprinkle flour over the sausage, stir, and cook for 2 minutes.
- Gradually pour in milk while stirring to avoid lumps. Simmer until thickened (5 minutes).
- Season with salt, pepper, sage, and red pepper flakes. Adjust to taste.
Assemble the Pie:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out one sheet of puff pastry and line a 9-inch pie dish, leaving an overhang.
- Fill with sausage gravy and cover with another sheet of puff pastry. Trim and crimp edges to seal. Cut slits for steam to escape.
Bake the Pie:
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
