Biscuits and Gravy with Sausage and Egg Breakfast Casserole

Ingredients:

For the casserole:

  • 1 can of refrigerated biscuit dough (about 8 biscuits)
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage (preferably mild or spicy, depending on your taste)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional but delicious)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder (optional)

For the gravy:

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/2 lb cooked breakfast sausage (crumbled, from the casserole or separate)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
  2. Prepare the casserole base:
    • Cut the biscuits into quarters and layer them evenly in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
    • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbled. Drain excess grease if necessary.
    • In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder (if using). Pour this egg mixture evenly over the biscuit pieces and sausage.
  3. Add cheese (optional): Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top if you’re using it.
  4. Bake the casserole: Place in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the casserole is golden brown.
  5. Make the sausage gravy:
    • In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
    • Gradually whisk in the milk and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir continuously until it thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
    • Add the crumbled sausage, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Assemble the dish:
    • Once the casserole is done baking, remove it from the oven and pour the sausage gravy generously over the top.
    • Serve hot and enjoy!

This casserole has everything you need for a satisfying breakfast in one dish!
