Southern Gravy Stuffed Biscuits
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ cups whole milk room temperature
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 can 8-count Southern Homestyle buttermilk biscuits, not flaky
- parsley for garnish
Garlic Butter Topping (Optional):
- ¼ cup butter melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown pork sausage until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and add flour to the skillet. Stir to combine and slowly pour in the milk. Stir frequently until the mixture thickens (about 10-12 minutes). Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder and set aside to cool slightly.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a 12-inch oven-safe skillet by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray.
- Remove the biscuits from the can and place them on a clean work surface. Using a rolling pin, flatten each biscuit to about ⅛-inch thickness.
- Place 2 heaping tablespoons of the sausage mixture on top of each flattened biscuit. Pinch the edges of the biscuit together to seal the mixture inside.
- Place the sealed biscuits, seam-side down, in the prepared skillet. Optional: brush the tops with a mixture of melted butter, garlic salt, and parsley.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm, topped with remaining gravy, and garnished with parsley.
