Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 pound halal breakfast sausage (beef or chicken)
¼ cup all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
1 tablespoon butter (optional, for extra richness)
Directions
Start by preheating your oven to 190°C (375°F). Lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until fully browned. Break it into small crumbles as it cooks to ensure even texture. Once cooked, do not drain all the fat, as it adds flavor to the gravy. If there is too much grease, remove a small portion but leave enough to coat the pan.
Sprinkle the flour evenly over the cooked sausage. Stir continuously for about 1–2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste. This step is essential for a smooth, rich gravy.
Gradually pour in the milk while stirring constantly. Continue stirring to prevent lumps from forming. As the mixture heats, it will begin to thicken into a creamy gravy. This usually takes about 5–7 minutes.
Season the gravy with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If you prefer a richer texture, stir in a tablespoon of butter at this stage.
Pour the sausage gravy into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Open the biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into halves or quarters. Arrange the pieces evenly over the gravy, covering most of the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. The gravy should be bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the gravy set slightly and makes serving easier.
It’s a quick and efficient recipe that works well for both busy mornings and relaxed weekend meals.
Variations
You can easily adapt this dish to suit different tastes. Add shredded cheese such as cheddar or mozzarella on top of the gravy before placing the biscuits for a cheesy twist.
For extra flavor, mix in sautéed onions or bell peppers with the sausage. If you enjoy a bit of spice, add a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the gravy.
You can also use homemade biscuit dough instead of refrigerated biscuits if you prefer a more traditional touch.
For a lighter version, substitute part of the milk with low-fat milk, though the gravy may be slightly less rich.
Storage/Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat, place a portion in the microwave and heat for 1–2 minutes until warmed through. You can also reheat it in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 10–15 minutes.
If the gravy thickens too much during storage, add a splash of milk before reheating to restore its creamy consistency.
Freezing is possible, but the texture of the biscuits may change slightly. For best results, consume fresh or refrigerated.
