Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I love everything about Thanksgiving especially the traditional meals. These home-cooked meals have so many memories attached to them. Growing up in a rural area it reminds me of the meals my family would make. One of them was biscuits and gravy.
There’s nothing more comforting than having biscuits and gravy. This version combines everything all-in-one baking dish. It’s easy peasy and only takes 20 minutes to bake. Serving this country sausage gravy over biscuits makes this the ideal breakfast.

Ingredients
For the Sausage Gravy:
- Coconut cooking spray
- 2 lb mild country pork sausage
- 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- Kosher salt and ground pepper, to taste
For the Biscuits:
- 2 (16 oz) pkg refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- Kosher salt and ground pepper, to taste

Instructions
For the Sausage Gravy:
- Pre-heat oven to 375°F and prepare a 9 X 13 baking pan. Coat with coconut nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook pork sausage. Crumble and cook until it's been browned and cooked all the way through, about 6 minutes.
- Gradually add in flour and cook an additional 1 minute. Pour in milk. Stir until well combined. Season with cayenne pepper, kosher salt and ground pepper, to taste. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until it has thickened, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
For the Biscuits:
- For the biscuits, cut them into quarter sizes. Add half of them to the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Pour sausage gravy over biscuits. Top with remaining quarter-sized biscuits.
- Brush biscuits with melted butter. Season with kosher salt and ground pepper. Place into oven. Bake at 375°F for 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven. Serve immediately. Garnish with fresh chives, if desired.
