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, and the garlic powder.
- Stir in 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!

Made these for a baby shower and they were a huge hit.
Yum I am so glad I made this recipe
Came out great! I tripled the recipe for a crowd and had quite a bit of gravy left. I used one can of the buttermilk Grands- they are much thicker than the original.
Can I freeze any leftovers
Yes! Just thaw in fridge the night b4 and heat in a covered skillet on low the next day
Can the biscuits be baked ahead?
I don’t think you would be able to fill them in with gravy if you did. You can always try though
Have you ever tried to freeze these so they could be heated up individually for quick mornings?
Yes! Just thaw in fridge the night b4 and heat in a covered skillet on low the next day. Works great!
Can these be made for a pot luck or would they be too mushy to serve
So easy and my family loved it
Change the directions from adding flour to add the milk,,,your directions read, sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir for a few mins…then add the flour,,,think you mean add the milk.
If you add milk first, you will end up with lumpy gravy.
I haven’t made this yet, so I didn;’t rate.
Directions are correct. You add the flour in after your broken up sausage browns, then you add your milk and allow it to cook, add salt and pepper, and cook until it thickens. That is how to make sausage gravy.
In the recipe, it should say gradually whisk in milk, not flour. Most people would figure it out, but not all!! Lol!!
