Instructions

Step 1
Select SEAR/SAUTÉ and set to HIGH. Select START/STOP to begin. Allow to preheat for 5 minutes. 

Step 2
After 5 minutes, add the sausage, salt, and pepper to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes, or until sausage browns, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. 

Step 3
Add the butter and melt completely. Then add flour and stir to combine. Cook for 2 minutes, then whisk in milk. Bring to a simmer, then cook for 5 minutes, or until thickened. 

Step 4
While gravy is cooking, gently separate biscuits and fill each with cheddar cheese, sandwich style. 

Step 5
Coat the reversible rack with cooking spray, making sure rack is in the lower position. Place stuffed biscuits on rack. Once gravy has thickened, lower rack with biscuits into pot. 

Step 6
Close crisping lid. Select BAKE/ROAST, set temperature to 325°F, and set time to 15 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin.
