Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits and Sausage
- 1 pkg biscuits (Pillsbury, 8 count)
- 1 lb mild sausage (any flavor works)
Egg Mixture
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Other Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 pkg peppered gravy mix (2.3 oz package)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get ready for baking.
- Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until fully browned and no longer pink inside. Drain the grease to reduce excess fat.
- Cut Biscuits: Cut each biscuit into about 4 small pieces to create bite-sized chunks for the casserole base.
- Layer Biscuits: Spread the biscuit pieces evenly across the bottom of the greased baking pan to form the first layer.
- Add Sausage: Evenly distribute the cooked sausage over the biscuit pieces, creating the second layer.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage for a melty, flavorful layer.
- Mix Eggs and Milk: In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
- Pour Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the egg mixture over the cheese layer, ensuring it spreads evenly.
- Prepare Gravy: Prepare the peppered gravy according to the package instructions, then pour it gently over the egg mixture.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the eggs and biscuits are fully cooked and set.
- Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven, let cool slightly, then serve warm and enjoy your delicious breakfast!
