Ingredients
Scale
Here’s what you’ll need to create these delightful treats:
- 1 can of refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 1/2 pound breakfast sausage
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 egg, beaten (for brushing)
If you’re looking for substitutions, turkey sausage works just as well, and if you’re dairy-free, try almond milk instead of regular milk. The seasoning can be adjusted to your liking—my mom was always a bit heavy-handed with the garlic powder, and it never disappointed!
Instructions
Ready to get cooking? Let’s dive in!
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. This takes about 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir well to combine. This creates a roux that will thicken your gravy.
- Slowly add the milk to the sausage mixture, stirring continuously until the gravy thickens, roughly 3-4 minutes. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Open the can of biscuit dough and separate each biscuit. Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the sausage gravy mixture into the center of each biscuit round.
- Fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the filling and pinch to seal completely, forming a ball.
- Place the bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each with the beaten egg to help them turn golden brown in the oven.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy the explosion of flavors!
Remember, it’s okay if some gravy leaks out during baking. As my dad always said, “The messier, the tastier!”
