Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 lb ground breakfast sausage
- 2 cups frozen shredded hash browns
- 1 12 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 (2.75 oz) sausage gravy mix
- 1 12 cups milk
- 4 large eggs
Seasoning:
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Optional: chopped parsley
- Optional: chopped green onions
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and thoroughly coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Cook 1 lb ground breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat until completely browned, breaking it into small crumbles.
- Prepare 2.75 oz sausage gravy mix with 1.5 cups milk according to packet instructions, stirring the cooked sausage into the gravy.
- Take 1 (16 oz) can of refrigerated biscuit dough and slice each biscuit into four equal quarters.
- Spread the biscuit quarters across the entire bottom of the greased baking dish, creating an even base layer.
- Sprinkle 2 cups frozen hash browns evenly over the biscuit pieces, covering the entire surface.
- Distribute 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese across the hash browns, ensuring uniform coverage.
- Pour the sausage and gravy mixture carefully over the cheese layer, making sure it spreads consistently.
- Whisk 4 large eggs with 1 cup milk, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper in a separate bowl.
- Gently pour the egg mixture over the entire casserole, allowing it to seep between layers.
- Bake uncovered at 375°F for 38-42 minutes until the center is completely set and the top turns golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let the casserole rest for 7-10 minutes before serving to allow layers to settle.
Notes
- Swap out regular sausage for turkey or plant-based sausage to make the casserole lighter and more diet-friendly.
- Slice biscuits thinner for a more integrated texture that helps the gravy soak into every bite.
- Freeze individual portions wrapped tightly for a quick breakfast that reheats beautifully in the microwave.
- Use fresh shredded cheese instead of pre-packaged for a richer, more authentic melting quality that elevates the entire dish.
