SAUSAGE GRAVY BISCUIT CUPS RECIPE
Sausage Gravy Biscuit Cups are a hearty, delicious breakfast treat, combining flaky biscuits with creamy sausage gravy in a convenient cup.
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
