Add shredded cheddar cheese to the sausage gravy for extra richness. For a spicier version, mix diced jalapeños into the sausage or use spicy sausage instead of mild. You can also sprinkle fresh thyme or rosemary into the gravy for an herby twist.
Why This Recipe Works
The buttery, flaky puff pastry perfectly complements the creamy, savory sausage gravy. Baking the pie ensures every slice captures just the right balance between crisp pastry and rich filling, making it a comforting dish for any meal.

Tips from Well-Known Chefs
Chef Gordon Ramsay suggests always tasting your gravy before assembling the pie to ensure the seasoning is perfect. He also recommends brushing the top pastry with an egg wash (1 beaten egg with a tablespoon of water) before baking to achieve a beautiful, glossy finish. For an added touch of luxury, you can replace some of the milk with cream, making the gravy even richer and more velvety.

Ingredients
1 lb sausage.
2 cups milk.
1/4 cup all-purpose flour.
1 teaspoon salt.
1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
1/2 teaspoon ground sage.
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for a spicy kick).
1 package of puff pastry, thawed (or homemade if you prefer).
Instructions
Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, breaking it up into smaller pieces as it cooks. Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage, stirring it in, and let it cook for about 2 minutes. Gradually pour in the milk while stirring constantly. Increase the heat to medium-high until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and sage.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
