Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Large skillet
• Whisk
• 9×13-inch baking dish
• Mixing bowls
• Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients Overview

• Biscuits: Fluffy, golden biscuits serve as the base and topping of the casserole, soaking up the creamy gravy.
• Sausage: Provides a rich, meaty flavor to complement the gravy.
• Gravy: Made from scratch for the ultimate creamy and savory flavor.
• Eggs: Add structure and richness to the casserole.
• Milk: Essential for creating the creamy gravy and for the egg mixture.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground sausage
• 2 cups milk (plus 1/4 cup for eggs)
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt to taste
• 6 large eggs
• 1 can (16.3 ounces) refrigerated biscuits, quartered
• 1 cup shredded cheese (optional, for topping)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Cook the Sausage
   In a large skillet, cook the ground sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Remove the sausage from the skillet with a slotted spoon, leaving the grease in the pan.
3. Make the Gravy
   Add the flour to the skillet with the sausage grease and whisk to combine. Cook for 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens. Add black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to taste. Return the sausage to the skillet, stir to combine, and remove from heat.
4. Assemble the Casserole
   In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with 1/4 cup of milk and a pinch of salt. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread the cooked sausage and gravy evenly over the egg mixture.
5. Add the Biscuits
   Scatter the quartered biscuit pieces over the sausage and gravy layer. If using cheese, sprinkle it on top.
6. Bake
   Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
7. Cool and Serve
   Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Slice and enjoy!
