Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits and Sausage
- 1 package Pillsbury biscuits (8 count)
- 1 lb mild sausage (any flavor works)
Egg Mixture
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Other
- 1 package peppered gravy mix (2.3 oz)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan thoroughly and preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure even cooking.
- Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until it is no longer pink and completely cooked through. Drain the excess grease for a healthier casserole.
- Cut Biscuits: Take each biscuit and cut it into about four small pieces to distribute evenly in the casserole.
- Layer Biscuits: Arrange the biscuit pieces evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the base layer.
- Add Sausage: Spread the cooked sausage evenly on top of the biscuit layer for a savory filling.
- Sprinkle Cheese: Generously sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage layer for a rich, cheesy flavor.
- Mix Eggs and Milk: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk, seasoning the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Pour Egg Mixture: Pour the beaten egg and milk mixture evenly over the cheese layer, letting it soak into the biscuits and sausage.
- Prepare Gravy: Following the package directions, make the peppered gravy, then pour it evenly over the entire casserole.
- Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the biscuits are fully cooked and golden.
- Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious breakfast casserole!
Notes
- You can use any flavor of sausage depending on your preference—mild, spicy, or breakfast sausage all work well.
- Feel free to swap cheddar cheese with other cheese types like mozzarella or pepper jack for different flavors.
- For a lower fat option, use turkey sausage and low-fat milk.
- If you prefer, you can prepare the gravy in advance to save time.
- This casserole can be assembled the night before and refrigerated; bake in the morning adding a few extra minutes to cooking time.
