Description
Hearty Biscuits and Gravy Bombs combine Southern comfort with culinary creativity. Flaky homemade biscuits encase creamy sausage gravy, offering a delightful surprise when you bite into these savory treats that satisfy comfort-food cravings.
Ingredients
- 1 can (8-count) Southern homestyle buttermilk biscuits
- 0.5 lb (0.5 pound) ground pork sausage
- 1.25 cups (306 g) whole milk, room temperature
- 0.25 cup (4 tbsps) Challenge® Butter Snack Spread, softened
- 2 tablespoons (2 tbsps) all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon (1.25 ml) pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon (0.625 ml) garlic powder
- Lawry’s Seasoned Salt (to taste)
- Parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Sausage Preparation: Thoroughly cook pork sausage in a skillet over medium heat, crumbling into uniform pieces until reaching safe internal temperature.
- Gravy Foundation: Reduce heat to medium-low, dust cooked sausage with flour, stirring to create a cohesive coating that evenly incorporates the meat.
- Liquid Integration: Stream milk into the skillet, whisking constantly to eliminate potential lumps and develop a silky, uniform gravy.
- Gravy Development: Simmer mixture, stirring frequently, until it transforms into a luxuriously thick and creamy consistency, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Seasoning Enhancement: Incorporate freshly ground black pepper and garlic powder, then remove from heat and allow slight cooling.
- Biscuit Transformation: Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly spray a 12-inch oven-safe skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
- Assembly Technique: Roll biscuits to thin, uniform ⅛-inch thickness, strategically placing sausage gravy in the center of each flattened disc.
- Packet Formation: Carefully fold and pinch biscuit edges, creating sealed packets that completely encase the savory filling.
- Baking Preparation: Arrange biscuit bombs seam-side down in prepared skillet, ensuring even spacing and optimal presentation.
- Finishing Touches: Brush tops with seasoned butter, bake until achieving a deep golden-brown color (18-20 minutes), then immediately glaze with remaining butter.
- Presentation: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve piping hot, showcasing the delectable sausage gravy biscuit bombs.
Notes
- Meat Preparation: Crumble sausage into small, consistent pieces to ensure even cooking and flavor distribution.
- Flour Coating Technique: Stir flour thoroughly with cooked sausage to create a roux base that prevents lumpy gravy.
- Milk Incorporation: Whisk milk gradually and continuously to achieve a silky, lump-free gravy consistency.
- Biscuit Rolling Tip: Roll biscuits to uniform ⅛-inch thickness for consistent cooking and optimal filling coverage.
