Biscuits

• 1 pkg Biscuits (Pillsbury, 8 count)

Meat and Cheese

• 1 lb mild sausage
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Egg Mixture

• 6 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Gravy

• 1 pkg peppered gravy mix (2.3 oz package)

Instructions

1. Prepare 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 when your casserole assembly is complete.
2. Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until it is fully browned and no longer pink inside. Drain off any grease to avoid excess fat in the casserole.
3. Cut Biscuits: Take each biscuit and cut into approximately 4 small pieces, breaking them up so they can layer easily in the pan.
4. Layer Biscuits: Arrange the biscuit pieces evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking pan, creating a base layer.
5. Add Sausage Layer: Spread the cooked sausage over the biscuit base, distributing it evenly for flavor in every bite.
6. Sprinkle Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the layer of sausage, ensuring coverage for a cheesy topping inside the casserole.
7. Mix Eggs and Milk: In a small bowl, whisk together the six eggs and ½ cup of milk until fully blended. Season with salt and pepper according to taste.
8. Pour Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the egg mixture over the cheese layer, allowing it to nestle in and soak through the biscuit and sausage layers.
9. Prepare Gravy: Prepare the peppered gravy according to the package instructions, typically by mixing with water and heating until thickened.
10. Add Gravy: Pour the hot gravy evenly over the entire casserole, adding moisture and rich flavor to the dish.
11. Bake: Place the casserole pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the biscuits are cooked through and the eggs are set. The top should be slightly golden and firm to the touch.
12. Serve: Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, then cut into portions and serve warm. Enjoy your comforting biscuits and gravy breakfast casserole!

Notes

• Use any flavor of sausage you prefer; spicy or herb-infused sausages add different flavor profiles.
• For a richer casserole, use whole milk or half-and-half instead of regular milk.
• You can prepare the gravy in advance and pour over just before baking to save time.
• Adding diced onions or bell peppers to the sausage layer can enhance the flavor and texture.
• Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated easily.
