Biscuits and gravy casserole is a delicious and comforting dish that combines the flavors of classic biscuits and gravy in a convenient casserole form. Here’s a basic recipe for you to try:
Ingredients:
For the Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
- 3/4 cup milk
For the Gravy:
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Biscuit Dough: a. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. b. Add the cold butter cubes to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. c. Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
3. Form Biscuits: Turn the biscuit dough onto a floured surface and knead it gently a few times. Pat or roll the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Cut out biscuits using a round cutter.
4. Prepare Gravy: a. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. b. Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir well to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste. c. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue cooking and stirring until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Assemble the Casserole: a. Grease a baking dish and place the biscuits in the bottom. b. Pour the sausage gravy over the biscuits, spreading it evenly.
6. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
7. Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like chopped parsley.
