by

Imagine a Sausage, Gravy, and Biscuit Pie, a culinary marvel that combines the comforting flavors of a hearty breakfast into a single, satisfying dish. Picture a golden-brown crust, flaky and buttery, cradling a savory filling that promises to warm both body and soul.

 

At its core, this pie boasts a generous layer of crumbled sausage, browned to perfection, releasing its rich, meaty aroma with every bite. The sausage is complemented by a creamy, velvety gravy, delicately seasoned to enhance its comforting essence. This gravy seeps into the nooks and crannies of the sausage, ensuring each mouthful is bursting with flavor.

 

Above this savory base lies a crown of buttery biscuits, their tops gently bronzed and their interiors tender and fluffy. These biscuits add a delightful contrast of texture, their slightly crisp edges giving way to a soft, pillowy center that soaks up the savory juices of the filling.

  • • 1/2 teaspoon ground sage

Directions:

 

1. Grab a big ol’ skillet and toss in your sausage. Cook it up over medium heat until it’s all nice and browned, breaking it up as you go.

If you’re feelin’ spicy, toss in those red pepper flakes too.
