- 1 can refrigerated biscuits
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 2 cups milk
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Fire up your oven to 350°F and generously spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Crumble 1 pound of breakfast sausage into a large skillet and cook over medium heat until the meat turns golden brown and fully cooked.
- Whisk ¼ cup flour, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon onion powder in a small bowl.
- Pour 2 cups milk into the skillet with cooked sausage and gradually sprinkle in the seasoned flour mixture.
- Stir the gravy continuously for 3-4 minutes until it thickens and coats the back of your spoon.
- Take 1 can of refrigerated biscuits and slice each into four equal quarters.
- Arrange the biscuit pieces in an even layer across the bottom of your prepared baking dish.
- Ladle the hot sausage gravy evenly over the biscuit pieces, ensuring complete coverage.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese across the top of the casserole.
- Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the top turns golden and cheese melts completely.
Notes
- Cold biscuits work best for quartering and absorbing the gravy without falling apart.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for developing deeper flavor in the sausage and gravy base.
- Fresh ground breakfast sausage creates a richer, more authentic taste compared to pre-packaged varieties.
- For a lighter version, swap whole milk for half-and-half or use turkey sausage to reduce calories.
