Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (16 oz)
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
Supporting Ingredients:
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
Seasonings:
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Fire up your oven to 350°F and coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Crumble the entire pound of breakfast sausage into a large skillet, cooking over medium-high heat until the meat turns completely brown and breaks into small, crispy pieces.
- Sprinkle ¼ cup of flour over the cooked sausage, stirring constantly for 2 minutes to create a golden, fragrant base for your gravy.
- Slowly pour 2 cups of whole milk into the skillet, whisking continuously to prevent lumps and create a smooth, creamy gravy.
- Season the gravy with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, plus salt and pepper to your taste preference.
- Open the 16-ounce can of refrigerated biscuit dough and tear each biscuit into rough, rustic pieces.
- Arrange half of the biscuit pieces across the bottom of your prepared baking dish, creating an uneven, textured layer.
- Pour half of the hot sausage gravy evenly over the first biscuit layer, allowing the sauce to seep between the pieces.
- Repeat the layering process with the remaining biscuit pieces and gravy, creating a hearty, delicious casserole.
- Crack 3 large eggs directly over the top layer, letting them settle naturally across the surface.
- Slide the casserole into the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, watching for a golden-brown top and bubbling edges.
Notes
- Crumble sausage into smaller pieces while cooking to ensure even distribution throughout the casserole.
- Use buttermilk biscuits for extra tangy flavor and tender texture.
- Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to help it set and make serving easier.
- For a lighter version, swap whole milk for low-fat milk and use turkey sausage instead of pork.
