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.
