  • Leftover-Friendly: Leftovers store well and can be reheated for a satisfying meal the next day.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups biscuit mix
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk (for gravy)
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

  • Step No.1: Make the Biscuit Dough
    In a medium bowl, combine the biscuit mix and ¾ cup milk. Stir until the dough forms, then knead gently. Roll out the dough and line the bottom of a greased 9-inch pie pan.

  • Step No.2: Cook the Sausage
    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Remove excess grease.

  • Step No.3: Make the Gravy
    Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir to combine. Gradually add 2 cups of milk while stirring constantly. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Step No.4: Assemble the Pie
    Pour the sausage gravy mixture over the biscuit dough in the pie pan. Use a spoon to spread it evenly.

  • Step No.5: Bake the Pie
    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the pie for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and cooked through.

  • Step No.6: Garnish and Serve
    Once baked, remove the pie from the oven. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.

Tips for Success

  • Use Fresh Biscuits: Fresh biscuit dough works best, but store-bought biscuit mix can also be used if you're in a rush.

  • Don’t Overcook the Gravy: The gravy should thicken but not overcook; it should be creamy but not too thick.

  • Use a Deep Dish: If you don't have a pie pan, use a deep baking dish to ensure the ingredients fit comfortably.

  • Add Cheese: For a cheesy twist, sprinkle some shredded cheese over the pie before baking for extra flavour.

  • Spice It Up: For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the gravy.

  • Leftover Storage: Store any leftover pie in the fridge, covered tightly, and reheat before serving.

Variations

  • Cheddar Sausage Pie: Add shredded cheddar cheese to the gravy for a cheesy, savoury variation.

  • vegetarian diet Option: Use plant-based sausage and vegetable broth for a meat-free version of this classic pie.

  • Spicy Sausage Pie: Use hot breakfast sausage or add jalapeños to the gravy for a spicy twist.

  • Bacon and Sausage Pie: Add cooked bacon to the sausage mixture for an extra layer of flavour.

  • Mushroom Gravy: Swap the sausage for sautéed mushrooms for a vegetarian version with a rich, savoury gravy.

Serving and Storage

This pie is best served warm, topped with extra pepper or fresh herbs for garnish. For balance, serve with a side of fruit or salad.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.

About Sana Umer

I'm Sana Umer — the home cook behind every recipe on For Foodie Friends. I'm a Pakistani-American mom of two based in the US, and I've been cooking seriously for about a decade now, mostly because feeding a family every day is the fastest way to learn how to actually cook.

I'm completely self-taught. I learned by watching my mother in Pakistan, by burning a lot of food in my early years, and by paying attention to which recipes worked and which ones needed fixing. I don't specialize in just one cuisine — I cook the Pakistani dishes I grew up with, the American desserts my kids request, weeknight dinners, holiday roasts, and everything in between.

Every recipe is personally tested in my own kitchen, every word is written by me, and every photo is taken of food I actually made.

Hi, I'm Sana Umer — the home cook, recipe tester, and writer behind For Foodie Friends.

I'm a Pakistani-American mom based in the US. I learned to cook in two kitchens — my mother's in Pakistan, where I grew up watching whole spices bloom in oil, and my own kitchen now, where I cook for my husband and kids.

Every recipe on this site has been tested in my own kitchen, often more times than I'd like to admit, before it ever made it here. I cook a little bit of everything: the Pakistani comfort food I grew up with, the American desserts my kids beg for, weeknight dinners that need to come together fast, and the holiday spreads that take all day.

If a recipe is on this site, it earned its place. No ghostwriters, no AI shortcuts, no copy-paste from somewhere else — just real recipes from a real kitchen, written to actually work the first time you make them.

Welcome to my corner of the internet.

— Sana
