Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Premade refrigerated biscuits
- 4 pieces Vegetarian sausage patties
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the refrigerated biscuits. Bake the biscuits as directed and set aside once done.
While the biscuits are baking, chop the vegetarian sausage patties into small bite-sized pieces.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the chopped vegetarian sausage and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to heat through and develop some browning.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the cooked sausage pieces. Stir well to combine, ensuring the sausage is evenly coated with the flour. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw taste of the flour.
Gradually add the milk to the skillet, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly. This will help the gravy thicken without clumping. Continue adding milk and stirring until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Season the gravy with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Turn the heat to low and let the gravy simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired thickness.
Serve the biscuits warm, splitting them in half and topping with a generous ladle of vegetarian sausage gravy. Enjoy!
