Ingredients

1 (16 oz) can refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (8-count)
1 lb breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 ½ cups whole milk (for gravy)
6 large eggs
½ cup milk (for eggs)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked. Do not drain the fat.
Step 3: Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir to coat. Slowly pour in 2 ½ cups of milk while stirring constantly. Simmer until the gravy thickens, about 5–7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.
Step 4: Cut each biscuit into quarters and evenly scatter them across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Step 5: Pour the sausage gravy evenly over the biscuit pieces.
Step 6: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, ½ cup of milk, salt, and pepper. Stir in shredded cheese if using. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole.
Step 7: Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden and bubbly.
Step 8: Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips & Variations

Don’t overbake; start checking at 35 minutes to keep the casserole soft and fluffy.
Use spicy breakfast sausage for an extra kick.
Add sautéed veggies like bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms for more flavor and texture.
Top with hot sauce or drizzle with maple syrup for a sweet and savory combo.
If you prefer homemade biscuits, pre-bake or par-bake them slightly before assembling to ensure they cook through.

Storage

Store leftover casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm individual slices in the microwave or reheat the entire casserole covered with foil in a 325°F oven until heated through. You can also freeze the casserole; wrap tightly and freeze once cooled. Reheat from frozen in the oven at 325°F until warmed through.

How to Serve

The image shows a close-up view of a baked dish in a white ceramic rectangular tray. The dish has multiple layers, starting with a bottom layer of cooked pasta or dough, topped with a thick layer of browned ground meat mixed with small bits of sauce. This is covered by a rich, creamy white cheese sauce that is browned and slightly bubbly on top, creating a textured surface with uneven golden spots. The tray is set on a white marbled surface, and a red and white checkered cloth is partially visible beside it, adding a cozy, homey feel. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make this casserole the night before?

Yes! Assemble the casserole, cover tightly with foil, and refrigerate overnight. Bake it in the morning for a fresh, hot breakfast.

Can I use canned sausage gravy instead of making it from scratch?

Yes, store-bought sausage gravy can save time, but homemade gravy offers a richer, fresher flavor that makes the casserole extra special.
