A comforting Southern-inspired casserole featuring fluffy biscuits and creamy sausage gravy, perfect for brunch or busy mornings.
Ingredients
- 1 lb breakfast sausage mild or spicy
- 1 can 16 oz refrigerated biscuit dough (or homemade)
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ cups whole milk or 2% milk
- 1 tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt adjust to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 4 large eggs optional
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese optional
- 2 tbsp butter or vegetable oil
- Optional: ¼ tsp red pepper flakes ½ cup diced onions, fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a skillet, brown sausage over medium heat (5-7 minutes). Add onions (if using) and sauté until soft. Drain fat, leaving 2 tbsp.
- Sprinkle flour over sausage, stir for 1-2 minutes. Slowly add milk, whisking to avoid lumps. Add pepper, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Simmer 5 minutes until thickened.
- Cut biscuit dough into quarters. Arrange half in the baking dish.
- If using eggs, whisk and pour over biscuits (skip for egg-free).
- Pour gravy over biscuits. Sprinkle with cheese (if using). Top with remaining biscuits.
- Bake 25-30 minutes until biscuits are golden. Cover with foil if browning too quickly.
- Cool 5 minutes, garnish with parsley, and serve.
Notes
- Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days. Reheat at 350°F for 10 minutes or microwave 1-2 minutes.
- Substitutions: Use turkey sausage or gluten-free biscuits as needed.
- Prevent sogginess: Pre-bake bottom biscuits for 5-7 minutes.
- Make-ahead: Assemble up to 24 hours ahead, refrigerate, and bake
