Biscuits and Gravy with Sausage and Egg Breakfast Casserole
Ingredients:
For the Casserole:
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuits (or homemade biscuits)
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (bulk or casings removed)
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
For the Gravy:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon sausage seasoning (or a mix of salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook the Sausage:
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through. Drain excess grease if necessary. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Biscuit Base:
- Cut the refrigerated biscuits into quarters. Spread them evenly in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
4. Whisk the Eggs:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir in the cooked sausage and shredded cheese.
5. Assemble the Casserole:
- Pour the egg and sausage mixture over the biscuit pieces in the baking dish. Press down slightly to ensure the biscuits are covered.
6. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the egg is set and the top is golden brown.
7. Make the Gravy:
- While the casserole is baking, make the gravy. In a skillet over medium heat, add the cooked sausage (if you have leftovers) and the flour. Stir to combine, cooking for about 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens. Season with sausage seasoning, salt, and pepper.
8. Serve:
- Once the casserole is done, let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with sausage gravy poured over the top.
Tips:
- Add Vegetables: Feel free to add diced bell peppers or spinach to the egg mixture for extra nutrition.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the casserole the night before and refrigerate it, then bake it in the morning.
