Ingredients
Method
Make the biscuits
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Gently fold together the Bisquick, milk, and vegetable oil just until wet — do not overmix.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper, then drop the dough by spoonful onto it to make 16 dollops.
- Bake 10 minutes, until golden brown.
Make the gravy
- Cook the ground sausage in a large saucepan until browned. Transfer the sausage to a bowl and set aside.
- In the same pan, using the leftover sausage drippings, add the butter, Montreal seasoning, and 7 cups of your chosen liquid over medium heat.
- Stir frequently until hot but NOT boiling.
- While that's warming, whisk 1/2 cup flour into 1 cup cold water until smooth. Add more water if necessary until it's thick but pourable.
- Slowly whisk the flour mixture into the hot liquid and cook an additional 3 minutes. If the gravy isn't thick enough, mix up more flour-and-water slurry and whisk it in until you reach the desired thickness — it will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the sriracha and cooked sausage.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven once baked, split or plate them, and ladle the gravy over the top to serve.

Notes
Don't skip it: the tablespoon of sriracha is what makes this dish come together.
Substitution: Short on time? Swap the from-scratch biscuits for 2 cans (16 total) of refrigerated biscuits — bake per the package instead of making the dough.
Recipe ideas: Swap the ground pork sausage for turkey or chicken sausage for a lighter version. Use a gluten-free baking mix in place of the Bisquick, and a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend in the gravy slurry, to make this celiac-friendly. Swap the dairy milk for broth or an unsweetened non-dairy milk for a dairy-free gravy. Like more heat? Add an extra tablespoon of sriracha or a pinch of cayenne. Leftover gravy keeps in the fridge a few days — reheat gently on the stove, thinning with a splash of milk if it's thickened too much.
