Instructions
- Set your oven to 350°F and coat a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Crumble 1 pound of breakfast sausage into a skillet and cook over medium heat until completely browned.
- Sprinkle ¼ cup flour over the cooked sausage and stir for exactly 60 seconds to create a roux.
- Slowly pour 2 cups of milk into the skillet, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens smoothly.

- Slide the dish into the preheated 350°F oven and bake for exactly 35 minutes until the center is set and edges are golden brown.
Notes
- Let those biscuit quarters sit snug in the dish, creating delicious pockets for the gravy and eggs to settle into.
- For extra richness, use whole milk or half-and-half in the gravy instead of low-fat milk.
- Swap breakfast sausage with turkey sausage or vegetarian sausage crumbles to customize for different dietary needs.
- Prep this casserole the night before and refrigerate, then bake fresh in the morning for an easy breakfast that feeds a crowd.
