Sausage Cheese Biscuits with Gravy

My family loves my Sausage Cheese Biscuits with Gravy. There’s something magical about the combination of buttery, flaky biscuits smothered in rich, creamy sausage gravy. It’s warm, filling, and downright nostalgic—whether it reminds you of a Southern family breakfast or a cozy weekend morning.

Ingredients

2 cups - Bisquik mix
⅔ cup - Milk
6 ounces - Breakfast sausage
½ cup - Cheddar cheese
1 tbsp - Onion
1 tsp - Garlic powder
1 lb - Pork sausage
¼ cup - All-purpose flour
2 ½ cups - Whole milk
½ tsp - Black pepper
¼ tsp - Kosher salt
⅛ tsp - Cayenne pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Lightly brown the sausage, remove from heat, set aside (do not drain)
Mix Bisquick and milk
Fold in cooked sausage, cheese, minced onion and garlic powder
Scoop onto parchment paper lined baking sheet
Bake until golden brown
Place sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Break up with a wooden spoon until brown.
Drain all the fat except 1/4 cup. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour evenly over the browned sausage and the rendered fat in the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly with a whisk or spatula, for 1-2 minutes.
Gradually pour in 2.5 cups of the cold milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Start with a small amount of milk to form a smooth paste with the roux, then slowly add the rest.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, continuing to whisk occasionally. As it heats, the gravy will begin to thicken. This usually takes about 5-8 minutes.
Stir in the black pepper, salt, and optional pinch of cayenne pepper.
