Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb bulk pork sausage
- 10 oz refrigerated biscuit dough
- 6 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup milk
- 1.5 oz package of pork gravy mix
- 1 ½ cups cold water
Finishing Ingredients:
- Cooking spray
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Coat a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
- Separate the 10 oz refrigerated biscuit dough and layer them across the entire bottom of the prepared dish, creating a full base coverage.
- Crumble the 1 lb pork sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes until completely browned. Drain excess fat thoroughly.
- Spread the cooked sausage evenly across the biscuit layer and sprinkle 1 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese on top.
- Crack 6 large eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them with ½ cup milk, seasoning with salt and pepper to create a smooth egg mixture.
- Pour the egg mixture directly over the sausage and cheese layer, ensuring complete coverage.
- Combine 1.5 oz pork gravy mix with 1 ½ cups cold water in a saucepan, stirring constantly until the mixture reaches a boil and thickens in 1-2 minutes.
- Gently pour the hot gravy over the egg layer, allowing it to spread evenly across the casserole.
- Scatter the remaining ½ cup of Cheddar cheese across the top of the casserole.
- Slide the dish into a preheated 350°F oven and bake for 30 minutes until the eggs are set and the cheese becomes golden and bubbly.
Notes
- Use fresh, high-quality breakfast sausage for the most robust flavor in your casserole.
- Drain the sausage thoroughly to prevent excess grease from making the biscuit layer soggy.
- For a lighter version, substitute turkey sausage and use low-fat cheese and milk.
- Prepare this dish ahead of time by assembling everything except the gravy layer and refrigerate overnight, adding the gravy just before baking.
