Biscuits and Gravy with Sausage and Egg Breakfast Casserole

by

1. Prepare the Sausage:

  1. In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and crumbled. Drain excess grease and set aside.

2. Prepare the Biscuit Dough:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters or smaller pieces. Alternatively, if using homemade biscuits, cut them into bite-sized pieces.

3. Prepare the Egg Mixture:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper. If using, mix in the shredded cheddar cheese.

4. Assemble the Casserole:

  1. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish.
  2. Spread the biscuit pieces evenly across the bottom of the dish.
  3. Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the biscuit pieces.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the biscuits and sausage.

5. Prepare the Gravy:

  1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1-2 minutes to create a roux (a thickening agent).
  3. Gradually whisk in the milk, continuing to stir until the gravy thickens and becomes smooth.
  4. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder (if using).
  5. Pour the gravy evenly over the casserole.

6. Bake the Casserole:

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.
  2. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.

7. Serve:

  1. Slice into squares and serve warm. This casserole pairs perfectly with fresh fruit or a side salad for a complete breakfast.

Tips for Success

  • Sausage: Feel free to use your favorite type of breakfast sausage, whether it’s spicy, mild, or even turkey sausage.
  • Biscuit Dough: If you prefer homemade biscuits, use your favorite recipe and cut them into small pieces.
  • Gravy Consistency: If the gravy is too thick, add a bit more milk to reach your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, let it simmer a bit longer until it thickens.
