Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (pork, turkey, or plant-based)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

- Cook the breakfast sausage until browned, breaking it into small crumbles, about 6–8 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir for 1 minute.
- Pour in the milk while stirring until thickened, about 3–5 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
- Roll the dough to fit the pie dish and layer it in the bottom.
- Spread the sausage gravy into the crust, then cover with a second layer of dough.
