Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 cups milk
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Fire up your oven to a steady 350F, ensuring the rack sits in the center position.
- Grab your skillet and drop the entire 1 pound of breakfast sausage inside, breaking it into small crumbles as it sizzles over medium heat.
- Once the sausage turns golden brown and releases its savory aroma, dust ¼ cup of flour across the meat, stirring constantly for exactly 1 minute.
- Pour 2 cups of milk into the skillet, then sprinkle in 1 teaspoon each of black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir the mixture until it transforms into a thick, creamy gravy.
- Take your refrigerated biscuit can and slice each biscuit into four precise quarters, then nestle these pieces into a generously greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Ladle the hot sausage gravy evenly over your biscuit pieces, making sure every corner gets covered.
- Shower 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese across the entire surface of the casserole.
- Slide the dish into the preheated oven and bake for exactly 30 minutes, watching for a gorgeous golden-brown top that signals your casserole is perfectly done.
Notes
- Swap pork sausage with turkey sausage for a leaner option that keeps all the delicious flavor.
- Make the casserole ahead of time and refrigerate overnight, then bake when ready to serve for maximum convenience.
- Sprinkle extra cheese on top during the last 10 minutes of baking for a crispier, more golden cheese layer.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free biscuits and replace wheat flour with cornstarch or a gluten-free flour blend when making the gravy.
