Ingredient Notes

• Refrigerated biscuit dough – The key to easy prep and flaky, buttery results.
• Breakfast sausage – Adds rich, savory flavor to the gravy.
• Butter – Brushed on top for a golden, crisp finish.
• Flour – Helps thicken the gravy to the perfect consistency.
• Milk – Gives the gravy a creamy, smooth texture.
• Garlic powder & onion powder – Adds depth to the flavor.
• Black pepper & salt – Essential for that classic sausage gravy taste.
• Cheddar cheese (optional) – Melts beautifully inside for an extra indulgent bite.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the oven – Set it to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cook the sausage – In a skillet over medium heat, brown the breakfast sausage until fully cooked.
3. Make the gravy – Sprinkle flour over the sausage and stir well. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly until thickened. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
4. Prepare the biscuits – Flatten each biscuit slightly and place a spoonful of gravy in the center. Add a little shredded cheddar if using.
5. Seal the bombs – Fold the edges over the filling and pinch tightly to seal. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
6. Brush with butter – Melted butter helps create a golden, crispy finish.
7. Bake – Cook for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Cool slightly and serve – Enjoy warm, with extra gravy on the side for dipping!

Expert Tips for the Best Gravy Bombs

• Don’t overfill – Too much gravy can make it hard to seal the biscuit dough properly.
• Pinch tightly – Ensure the edges are sealed well to prevent leaks.
• Use cold dough – Keeping the biscuit dough chilled makes it easier to handle and shape.

Serving Suggestions

• With extra gravy – Because more gravy is always a good idea!
• Alongside eggs – A perfect breakfast combo.
• As a party snack – These make an excellent finger food for brunch gatherings.

Storage and Reheating Tips

• Refrigerator – Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Freezer – Freeze before baking for up to 2 months. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.
• Reheating – Warm in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to keep them crispy.
