Ingredients

  • 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage (such as Jimmy Dean)
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare the Biscuit Cups:Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin and place one biscuit in each cup. Press down gently to form a cup shape. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  2. Cook the Sausage:In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Once browned and cooked through, remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Make the Gravy:In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until it forms a thick paste. Slowly whisk in the milk, then add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Combine:Stir the cooked sausage into the gravy and cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the sausage is well-coated and the gravy is heated through.
  5. Assemble the Cups:Spoon the sausage gravy into each biscuit cup, filling them generously. Optionally, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and return to the oven for 3-5 minutes to melt the cheese.
  6. Serve:Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: These Sausage Gravy Biscuit Cups can be made ahead. Prepare the cups and store the sausage gravy separately in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat the gravy and assemble the cups before serving.
  • Customizing the Flavor: You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat or stir in some cooked vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for extra flavor. Swap the sausage for turkey sausage for a lighter option.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve these biscuit cups with a side of scrambled eggs or fresh fruit for a complete breakfast or brunch. They also make a great addition to a holiday spread.
  • Storage Tips: Store any leftover biscuit cups and gravy separately. Refrigerate for up to 3 days and reheat before serving. The biscuit cups can be frozen for up to 2 months.
