Whether you’re hosting a family brunch, feeding overnight guests, or planning a holiday breakfast, this dish delivers a satisfying centerpiece that will have everyone asking for seconds.
Tips for the Best Cheesy Sausage Biscuit Bake
Use cold butter and shortening to achieve the flakiest biscuits and layer them generously with sausage patties to lock in savory flavor. Garnish with fresh scallions and reserved bacon for a pop of color and crunch. For an extra indulgent twist, sprinkle a little extra cheddar on top right before serving. Pair it with fresh fruit, coffee, or mimosas to round out the perfect Southern-inspired meal.
Ingredients:
FOR THE SAUSAGE & BISCUIT, SLICE:
1 pound breakfast sausage, pork, patties
FOR THE DOUGH whisk:
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
FOR THE DOUGH cut in:
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, cubed
1/4 cup shortening, cold, cubed
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup scallions, sliced, + 2 tablespoons for garnish
FOR THE GRAVY cook:
8 strips thick-sliced bacon, diced
FOR THE GRAVY whisk:
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups milk
6 ounces cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
1 dash black pepper
Instructions:
PREP:
Preheat the oven to 450°
Coat 2, 9″ x 5″ loaf pans with non-stick spray.
PHASE 1: COOK SAUSAGE (15 minutes + 10 minutes to cool):
Slice sausage into 16 patties (or use pre-cut patties from
package); cook according to package instructions.
PHASE 2: PREPARE DOUGH (while sausage cooks and cools
slightly):
Whisk together 3 cups flour, baking powder, salt and baking
powder.
Cut in butter and shortening with a pastry blender until pea-sized.
Stir in buttermilk and 1/2 cup scallions until dough comes
together. Turn dough onto a lightly floured work surface and pat
into a 12″ x 12″ square; cut into 16 squares.
PHASE 3: BAKE (45 minutes):
Place 1 sausage patty onto each square.
Stack biscuit squares and sausage patties together and place 1/2
each into loaf pans.
Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center
registers 180°, 30-40 minutes (look at it after 30 minutes so that it
doesn’t burn).
Indulge in the ultimate “Southern” breakfast experience with a hearty
combination of biscuits and sausage that simply aren’t complete
without a rich, savory gravy. For an extra dose of flavor, try pouring our
delectable cheddar gravy on top of the fluffy, scallion-infused biscuits
or serve it on the side. The result is a taste sensation that will leave you
wanting more – it’s biscuits and gravy on steroids! Don’t miss out on the
perfect blend of spicy sausage and creamy, indulgent gravy that soaks
into every bite, bringing the ultimate comfort food to your table.
PHASE 4: MAKE GRAVY (while sausage-biscuits bake):
Cook bacon in sausage drippings until crisp, transfer to a paper lined plate and reserve 1/4 cup of drippings in the pan.
Whisk 1/4 cup flour into drippings, cook over medium heat, 2
minutes.
Stir in milk, cheddar, mustard and Worcestershire.
Season gravy with salt and pepper and stir until thickened.
Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon for garnish. Whisk remainder
of bacon into gravy and pour gravy over loaf and sprinkle with
reserved bacon and scallions over the top.
