How to Make Southern Gravy Stuffed Biscuits
- Cook the Sausage Gravy:
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage until it reaches 160°F.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, stir in the flour, and slowly add the milk, stirring constantly until thickened (about 10-12 minutes). Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then let the mixture cool slightly.
- Prepare the Biscuits:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and spray a 12-inch oven-safe skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
- Flatten each biscuit to about ⅛-inch thickness using a rolling pin.
- Stuff the Biscuits:
- Place 2 heaping tablespoons of sausage gravy in the center of each flattened biscuit. Pinch the edges together to seal and place seam-side down in the skillet.
- Optional Garlic Butter Topping:
- Mix melted butter, garlic salt, and parsley. Brush over the biscuits before baking for extra flavor.
- Bake to Perfection:
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
- Serve:
- Serve warm, topped with any remaining gravy and garnished with parsley.
Tips for Success
- Seal Carefully: Pinch the biscuit edges tightly to prevent the gravy from leaking during baking.
- Customize the Filling: Add shredded cheese or chopped herbs to the gravy for extra flavor.
- Reheat Leftovers: Warm stuffed biscuits in the oven to maintain their crispy exterior.
