Can I use different types of sausage in this pie?

Absolutely! While traditional pork breakfast sausage is classic, feel free to experiment with spicy Italian sausage, chicken sausage, or even a vegetarian sausage alternative for a different flavor profile.

How can I make the gravy from scratch instead of using a mix?

To make gravy from scratch, simply leave about 2-3 tablespoons of sausage fat in the skillet after browning. Whisk in 2-3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour to create a roux, then slowly whisk in 1 cup of milk until smooth and thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Can I prepare this biscuit pie ahead of time?

You can prepare the sausage and gravy mixture a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. When ready to bake, transfer it to your pie dish, top with fresh biscuits, and bake as directed. This makes for a quick assembly on busy mornings or evenings!

What are some good serving suggestions for this pie?

This hearty pie is delicious on its own, but it pairs wonderfully with simple sides. Consider serving it with steamed green beans, a fresh garden salad, or a side of creamy mashed potatoes to complete the meal.

Instructions

Step 1: In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until thoroughly browned and crumbled. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Step 2: Prepare the gravy mix according to the package instructions, using 1 cup of milk and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir until smooth and thickened. Pour the prepared gravy over the cooked sausage in the skillet, mixing well.
Step 3: Transfer the sausage and gravy mixture to an oven-safe pie dish or a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange the biscuits evenly on top of the sausage and gravy mixture.
Step 4: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the pie filling is bubbly.
Step 5: Garnish the hot pie with chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve immediately with steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad on the side. Enjoy!

Notes

For an extra cheesy kick, sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage and gravy before adding the biscuits. For a spicier pie, use hot breakfast sausage or add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the gravy. You can also make your own gravy from scratch for an even richer flavor.
