Cooking techniques

For the best texture, ensure the sausage is well-browned and the gravy is thick. When making biscuits, handle the dough as little as possible to keep them fluffy!

Variations or substitutions

Feel free to swap the pork sausage for turkey sausage or make it meatless by using mushrooms. You can also use different cheeses for a unique twist!

Storage tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture, or microwave for a quick option.

Notes
