Ingredients
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 cups milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 lb of breakfast sausage, 1/4 cup of flour, 2 cups of milk, salt and pepper to taste, and 1 can of refrigerated biscuits.
- Turn on your Instant Pot and select the 'Sauté' function. Allow it to heat up for a couple of minutes.
- Once the Instant Pot is hot, add the breakfast sausage to the pot. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to break the sausage into smaller pieces as it cooks.
- Cook the sausage for about 5-7 minutes, or until it is browned and fully cooked, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- After the sausage is cooked, sprinkle the 1/4 cup of flour over the sausage. Stir well to combine, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Slowly pour in the 2 cups of milk while continuously stirring to prevent lumps from forming. Continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Season the sausage and gravy mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Allow it to simmer for about 2-3 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
- While the gravy is thickening, prepare the refrigerated biscuits according to the package instructions. You can either bake them in the oven or use the Instant Pot to cook them.
- If using the Instant Pot, place the biscuits on a trivet above the gravy mixture. Close the lid, ensuring the steam release valve is set to 'Sealing'.
- Set the Instant Pot to 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' on high pressure for 8 minutes. Once the cooking time is complete, allow for a natural pressure release for 5 minutes, then carefully switch the valve to 'Venting' to release any remaining pressure.
- Once the pressure has been fully released, carefully open the lid. Remove the biscuits from the pot and serve them topped with the sausage gravy.
- Enjoy your delicious Instant Pot biscuits and gravy while hot!
Tips
- Use Quality Sausage: For the best flavor, opt for a high-quality breakfast sausage that you enjoy. Spicy or mild, the choice is yours!
- Prevent Lumps: When adding the milk to the sausage and flour mixture, pour it in slowly and stir continuously to ensure a smooth gravy without lumps.
- Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a thinner gravy, simply add a bit more milk until you reach your desired consistency. For a thicker gravy, let it simmer a little longer.
- Biscuit Cooking Options: You can bake the biscuits in the oven for a traditional touch, or use the Instant Pot for a quicker method—just be sure to follow the package instructions for the best results.
- Season to Taste: Don’t be shy with the salt and pepper! Taste your gravy before serving and adjust the seasoning to your liking for a flavor boost.
- Garnish for Extra Flavor: Consider topping your biscuits and gravy with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color and added freshness.
- Serve Hot: Enjoy this dish immediately after cooking for the best texture and flavor. It’s the perfect way to start your day!
