Freezer Meal Recipes: Biscuits and Sausage Gravy
Freezing Homemade Biscuits and Gravy
Homemade biscuits and gravy is really quite easy to make. I put off learning how to make it for way too long! I wish I would have realized how easy it is to make!
I recommend using one of these two easy homemade biscuit recipes: simple homemade biscuit or simple cream biscuit recipe.
Mixing sausage and flour. I normally make this with ground sausage, but this day I only had links so I made it with the links instead and it turned out great!
Stir your sauce until thick. For a richer sauce use half and half or heavy cream instead of your milk or do 1 cup of each.
I LOVE my heat resistant non-stick nylon utensils:
This is a fabulous set! I love the utensil pictured in my gravy above. It is one of my favorite and I can not find it anymore. BUT the pink handled and green handled utensils in this set above would really do the trick if I have to replace the one I love! I LOVE these colors too! So fun. Oh and the elevated handles keep my counter from getting messy when I set the utensil down.

Now this utensil I think I might have to have now! It looks like it will function much like my favorite, and it has FIVE different cool functions! Check it out!

Freezer Meal Recipes: Biscuits and Sausage Gravy
Ingredients
- Biscuits from a can or homemade biscuits links to recipes in blog post!
Gravy:
- 1 pound sausage
- ¼ cup flour
- 2 cups milk
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Bake the biscuits from the homemade biscuits recipe or from the can.
- Brown sausage in a pan. In this photo I used sausage links because that is what I had on hand. It turned out great, but traditionally I have used ground sausage. When sausage is fully cooked add flour. Stir until well mixed.
- Slowly add milk. Stir on medium heat until sauces is thick. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve over warm biscuits.
Preparing For the Freezer:
- If you do this as a freezer recipe you can freeze your biscuits. If they are in the tube do not freeze them in the tube. Remove them from the tube unbaked and freeze them in a freezer bag. The homemade biscuits I recommend can be frozen in a freezer bag after you bake them.
- Gravy can be frozen after prepared, but it tastes a little better to make it the day you are serving it. To speed things up you can freeze the ground cooked sausage and make the gravy on the day you are serving this meal.
Prepare after Freezing:
- Let your biscuits thaw. Bake tube biscuits according to tube instructions. Warm homemade biscuits in the oven for 5-10 minutes at 350 degrees.
- If you froze gravy. let it thaw and then warm it on the stove. If you only froze sausage put it in a pan over medium heat, warm it up and then make gravy. Or cook sausage and make gravy the day of serving.
I never thought about freezing this. Biscuits and gravy just do not last long enough to make it ti the freezer.
I looked this up because we buy the frozen Jimmy Dean biscuit and gravy bowl that is delicious. It is delicious. I have been unable to cook and less able to have an appetite. As I was eating this, I’m like, WAIT…..now I’m better. I could easily make this and freeze it to have it at my finger tips at a whim!!!
That’s wonderful, Barbie! Thanks for sharing!
I make tons of gravy all the time I’m now going to start freezing leftovera
Woot! That is awesome.
I just made these biscuits and they turned out PERFECT!!! Great recipe and well written instructions. Thank you!!!
Have you ever tried to spritz the biscuits with water when reheating them in the oven ? The moisture from the water will moisten the biscuits like they were before.
Great tip!
Hi! I am making my sausage gravy for my wedding and I also brown the flour onto my sausage. Have you tried freezing your sausage with the flower and seasoning on it and just warming in slow cooker with milk/cream? Would you reccomend freezing the sausage only before added flour?
Thank you!!
For better sausage gravy brown slices from chub sausage and after cooked shred. The difference is amazing
