Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can Refrigerated Buttermilk Biscuits
- 1 lb Ground Breakfast Sausage
- 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 2 cups Whole Milk
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp Cooking Oil
- Seasonings to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the ground sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Once browned, sprinkle in the flour and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour flavor.
- Gradually whisk in the milk. Keep stirring until your gravy thickens, which takes around 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- While the gravy thickens, cut the refrigerated biscuits into quarters.
- Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish and layer the biscuit pieces evenly across the bottom.
- Pour the sausage gravy mixture over the biscuits, spreading it out evenly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and pour them over the casserole for even coverage.
- Add the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Place the dish in your preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the eggs are set and the cheese is golden brown.
- Let it cool slightly before serving to allow the casserole to set.
Notes
For added flavor, consider substituting breakfast sausage with turkey sausage or plant-based alternatives. Pair with fresh fruit or crispy hash browns.
