Flaky canned biscuits are hollowed and spooned full of peppery sausage gravy, then popped into the air fryer until they're golden and crisp on the outside and perfectly messy in the best way. They're a budget-friendly breakfast my kids beg for, and easy enough to throw together on a busy morning.

Ingredients

1 can of flaky-style canned biscuits 8 biscuits
1 pound hot breakfast sausage or your favorite
¼ cup of all-purpose flour
2 ½ cups of milk reserve ½ cup
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon thyme

Instructions

Cook the pork sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Break up the sausage with a wooden spoon until it's crumbly and small pea-size pieces and caramelizes. Keep the rendered fat in the pan.
Sprinkle flour over the sausage until the fat is absorbed by the flour. Stir constantly and cook the flour/sausage mixture for 3-5 minutes over medium heat until the flour is slightly browned. It will be very thick.
Pour in 2 cups of milk, stirring constantly. Add salt, pepper, onion powder, and thyme and keep stirring until the gravy mixture thickens. The gravy will be very thick, which is perfect for biscuit filling!
Add the gravy to a large heat-safe bowl. Chill the gravy in the freezer for 30 to 45 minutes until it's firm and scoopable, or put it in the fridge overnight. The gravy should be scoopable.
Once the gravy is chilled, open the biscuit can and remove the biscuits. Divide the individual biscuits in half, separating the dough 2/3 of the way. Don’t completely separate the biscuit.
Lay the biscuit flat and place a ¼ cup sized scoop of the gravy on it. Fold the biscuit shut and pinch to close. Make sure that all the edges are pinched tight and completely closed.
Set the air fryer to 350 degrees and place 4 biscuits in the bottom of the air fryer basket in a single layer. Bake for 8 minutes.
Take the leftover gravy and warm it in a pan, add the ½ cup of reserved milk, and heat until warm and bubbly. Serve with the biscuits for dipping.
