Ingredients
1 lb sausage
2 cups milk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground sage
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for a spicy kick)
1 package puff pastry, thawed (or homemade if preferred)
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it up into crumbles. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes.
-
Sprinkle flour over the sausage and stir to combine. Let the flour cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
-
Gradually add milk to the skillet, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, sage, and crushed red pepper flakes (optional). Adjust seasoning to taste.
-
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Line the dish with the pastry, pressing it into the bottom and sides, then trim any excess dough.
-
Pour the sausage gravy into the prepared pastry shell.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy.
-
Let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Sausage, Rich Gravy, and Biscuit Pie!
Notes
For a spicier version, increase the crushed red pepper flakes or add diced jalapeños.
Use plant-based sausage or mushrooms for a vegetarian version.
Stir in shredded cheddar cheese for a cheesy twist.
