How to Make It

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Use cooking spray to coat a 9×13-inch baking dish, which prevents the casserole from sticking and makes for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Cook the Sausage

In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the pork sausage until it’s browned and crumbly. This enhances the sausage’s flavor and texture. Drain the grease unless you want extra richness.

Step 3: Layer Biscuits and Sausage

Quarter the refrigerated biscuits and spread them evenly across the prepared baking dish. Evenly distribute the cooked sausage over the biscuits. This ensures a consistent bite and flavor in each piece.

Step 4: Mix and Pour Egg Mixture

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour this over the sausage and biscuits, ensuring an even coat. This egg mixture binds everything together.

Step 5: Add Cheese and Bake

Sprinkle 1 cup of Cheddar cheese over the casserole. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set. The cheese should be melted and bubbly for the perfect finish.

Step 6: Prepare Gravy

While baking, whisk the gravy mix with 1 ½ cups cold water in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until thickened. Pour over the baked casserole. This step ensures the casserole is smothered with flavor.

Recipe FAQs

Can I prepare this casserole in advance?

Yes, assemble the casserole the night before without baking. Cover and refrigerate. Bake fresh in the morning, adding an additional 5-10 minutes to compensate for starting from a cold temperature.

What variations can I try?

Swap the pork sausage with turkey or chicken sausage. Add vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for more texture and nutrients.

How do I store leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
