Steps
1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13” baking dish with cooking spray. Remove sausage from casings. In a 12” skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add sausage and onion. Cook until sausage is cooked through and onion is translucent, breaking up sausage into smaller chunks with a wooden spoon, 5 to 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer mixture to a bowl.
2
Add 4 tablespoons butter to skillet over low and let melt. Whisk in flour and cook 1 minute, whisking constantly. Gradually add milk and increase heat to medium. Cook until mixture thickens and bubbles, whisking constantly, 9 to 10 minutes. Add shredded cheese and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat and stir in sausage mixture. Season sausage gravy with salt and pepper.
3
Transfer sausage gravy to prepared baking dish and top with biscuits. Bake until sausage mixture is bubbling and biscuits are golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Microwave remaining 1 tablespoon butter until melted. Brush biscuit tops with melted butter and let sit 10 minutes before serving.
