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:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
- 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.
- Add cheese (optional): Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top if you’re using it.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
