Ingredients

Scale

Biscuits

  • 1 package Pilsbury biscuits (8 count)

Protein & Cheese

  • 1 lb mild sausage
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 eggs

Dairy

  • 1/2 cup milk

Gravy

  • 1 package peppered gravy mix (2.3 oz)

Seasoning

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan and oven: Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking, then preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking.
  2. Cook the sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until fully browned and no longer pink, stirring occasionally. Once done, drain excess grease to keep the dish from being greasy.
  3. Cut the biscuits: Using a knife, cut each biscuit into approximately 4 pieces, creating small biscuit chunks that will layer well in the casserole.
  4. Assemble biscuit layer: Spread the biscuit pieces evenly across the bottom of the greased baking pan to form the base layer of your casserole.
  5. Add sausage layer: Distribute the cooked and drained sausage evenly over the biscuit pieces, ensuring full coverage.
  6. Top with cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the sausage layer, adding a creamy and flavorful element.
  7. Mix eggs and milk: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
  8. Pour egg mixture: Slowly pour the egg and milk mixture evenly over the cheese layer to soak through the casserole.
  9. Prepare and add gravy: Prepare the peppered gravy according to the package directions (usually by combining the mix with water and cooking to thicken). Pour the hot gravy evenly over the entire casserole to add richness and moisture.
  10. Bake the casserole: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the biscuits are cooked through, creating a cohesive, golden casserole.
  11. Serve and enjoy: Remove the casserole from the oven, let it cool slightly, then serve warm and enjoy this hearty breakfast dish.

Notes

  • Using mild sausage keeps the dish more universally appealing, but feel free to use spicy or flavored sausage for a different taste.
  • You can substitute the Pilsbury biscuits with any flaky biscuit dough or homemade biscuit pieces.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to your preference.
  • Ensure the gravy is hot and well-prepared before pouring to maintain texture in the casserole.
  • This casserole can be prepared the night before and baked in the morning for convenience.
