1. Breakfast sausage (1 pound)

   • Sub: Ground pork or turkey with added spices

You can use any brand of ingredients you like. Feel free to pick your favorite breakfast sausage – spicy or mild works great!

For the biscuits, grab a can from the refrigerated section at your grocery store. If you’re feeling fancy, you can make your own from scratch.

Remember, this recipe is super flexible. Feel free to try different combos until you find your perfect match!

Instructions

Brown the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Break it up with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.

Open the can of refrigerator biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters.

Grease the inside of your slow cooker. Add a layer of quartered biscuits to the bottom.

Spoon half the cooked sausage over the biscuits. Pour half the cream of mushroom soup on top.

Repeat with another layer of biscuits, sausage, and soup.

Cover and cook on low for 4 hours. The biscuits will puff up and become soft and fluffy.

Give everything a gentle stir before serving. Scoop into bowls and enjoy your easy sausage biscuits and gravy!

Tips, Tricks & Storing

For extra flavor, try using spicy breakfast sausage or adding herbs like thyme or rosemary. You can also swap the cream of mushroom soup for cream of chicken if you prefer.

Don’t lift the lid while cooking. This lets heat escape and can increase cooking time. If you’re short on time, cook on high for 2 hours instead of low for 4.

Make sure to spray the crockpot with non-stick spray before adding ingredients. This makes cleanup much easier later.

You can prep this dish the night before. Brown the sausage, layer everything in the crockpot, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, just turn it on and let it cook.

Leftovers stay good in the fridge for up to 3 days. Store in an airtight container. To reheat, microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until hot.

For a healthier version, use turkey sausage and low-fat cream soup. You can also make your own biscuits from scratch if you want to avoid refrigerated ones.

If the gravy is too thick, stir in a little milk. If it’s too thin, let it cook uncovered for a bit to reduce.
