Ingredients

1

lb bulk pork breakfast sausage

2

tablespoons butter

2

tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/4

teaspoon black pepper

1 1/4

cups milk

1

                        can (16.3 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Southern Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits (8 Count)

Sliced green onions, if desired

Preparation

In 10-inch skillet, break up sausage and cook over medium-high heat 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink. With slotted spoon, remove sausage from skillet to small bowl; set aside.

Decrease heat to medium. Add butter to drippings in skillet; cook until butter is melted. Add flour and pepper; cook about 1 minute, stirring constantly with whisk, until no lumps remain. Slowly add milk; cook 1 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened. Stir in cooked sausage.

Spray 5- to 6-quart oval slow cooker with cooking spray. Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Cut each biscuit into 6 pieces; place in slow cooker.

Pour sausage mixture on top of biscuit pieces in slow cooker. Cover top of insert with large kitchen towel. Place slow-cooker lid on top of towel. (This will prevent condensation from dripping onto biscuits during cooking.)

Cook on Low heat setting 2 hours to 2 hours 30 minutes. Insert paring knife into center of casserole to make sure biscuits are fully baked; outer edge will be deep golden brown. Top with green onions before serving.
