Instructions
1-Getting started: Getting started with this Sausage Gravy Biscuit Pie recipe is as fun as it is rewarding, and I’ll walk you through each step to make sure it’s a breeze. First, preheat your oven to 375Β°F so it’s ready when you are, and take a moment to set up your workspace for smooth sailing. This sausage gravy biscuit pie recipe is all about building layers of flavor, starting with a simple pie crust that gives everything a cozy base.
2-Oven preparation and crust: Here’s how the process flows in the oven, you’ll blind-bake the crust for a head start on that flaky texture. Brown the 1 pound of pork breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small pieces until it’s fully cooked and aromatic.

3-Preparing the gravy: Once the sausage is done, add the 3 tablespoons of butter and let it melt, then sprinkle in the 1/3 cup of all-purpose flour. Stir this mixture for 1-2 minutes to cook off that raw taste and create a smooth base. Gradually whisk in the 3 cups of milk, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens to a creamy consistency, which takes about 4-5 minutes, and season it with the 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.
4-Assembling and baking the pie: Pour that delicious gravy into your prepared pie crust and spread it evenly. Cut the 1 package of refrigerated biscuits into smaller pieces and arrange them on top, leaving space for them to puff up nicely. Pop the pie into the oven on a baking sheet for 25-30 minutes until the biscuits turn golden, and if they brown too fast, just cover with foil to finish baking. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving this step ensures the flavors settle and it’s easier to slice.
Notes
πΆοΈ Choose spicy sausage to add a zesty kick or stick with breakfast sausage for a classic taste.
π³ Cook the roux thoroughly and stir constantly to avoid lumps and raw flour flavor.
π₯§ Leave space between biscuit pieces to allow even puffing and baking.
