Sausage Gravy Biscuit Cups are a fun, portable way to eat Sausage Gravy and Biscuits. Only 6 ingredients and about 30 minutes of time are needed for this delicious southern breakfast. I love this easy recipe every bit as much as Sausage Gravy Stuffed Biscuits.
These Sausage Gravy Biscuit Cups are so good y’all!! A buttery golden biscuit cup holds a delightfully creamy sausage gravy flavored with a little cheddar cheese.
How To Make Sausage Gravy Biscuit Cups
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Brown sausage in a large nonstick pan, breaking it up as much as possible while it cooks.
- Sprinkle the flour on top of the sausage. Stir and cook for 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in milk. Simmer for a few minutes to thicken and then add salt and pepper to taste, the garlic powder, and cheddar cheese.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly while you separate each of 6 biscuits into 2 pieces and press one into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup.
- Fill the cups with sausage gravy and bake until golden brown.
Make It Spicy
To make this recipe spicy, either use “Hot” breakfast sausage or add half a teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes to the gravy mixture.
Tips For Making
- You can use regular, hot, or sage breakfast sausage. I typically use Jimmy Dean.
- To make them a little richer, replace 1 cup of milk with heavy cream.
Storage
Best eaten soon after they are made but will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days.
A warm buttery biscuit filled with rich, creamy sausage gravy makes a southern breakfast like no other!
