Ingredients

• 0 cooking spray
• 2 16.3-oz cans refrigerated biscuits
• 2 lb Italian sausage
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 5 cups whole milk
• 0 pinch cayenne pepper
• 0 kosher salt
• 0 freshly ground black pepper
• 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 0 freshly ground black pepper
• 1 Tbsp thinly sliced chives

Instructions

1. Arrange a rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 375°F. Grease a 13" x 9" baking dish with cooking spray. Cut biscuits into quarters and arrange half in the prepared pan.
2. Bake biscuits until golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, cook sausage, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 6 minutes.
4. Add flour and cook, stirring, until just slightly darkened, about 1 minute more.
5. Add milk and cayenne; season with salt and black pepper and whisk to combine.
6. Bring gravy to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 3 minutes.
7. Remove from heat and pour gravy over par-baked biscuits. Top with remaining biscuits.
8. Brush biscuits with butter; season with black pepper.
9. Continue to bake until golden and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
10. Top with chives.
