Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits and Base
- 8 count package refrigerated Grands biscuit dough
- 1 pound bulk sausage
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Gravy
- 1 peppered gravy mix (2 3/4 ounce, makes 2 cups)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 13×9-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bulk sausage until fully browned and no longer pink inside. Drain off any excess fat and set the sausage aside.
- Arrange Biscuits: Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces and spread the pieces evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish as the base layer.
- Add Sausage and Cheese: Evenly distribute the cooked sausage over the biscuit pieces, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the sausage layer.
- Make Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the six eggs and half a cup of milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and pour this egg mixture evenly over the contents in the baking dish.
- Prepare Gravy: Follow the package instructions to make the peppered gravy mix, typically combining it with water and heating until thickened. Pour the prepared gravy evenly over the entire casserole.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until the casserole is puffed, set, and golden brown on top. Let it cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute sausage with ground turkey or a vegetarian sausage alternative if desired.
- Using refrigerated biscuit dough makes this recipe quick and easy to assemble.
- Feel free to add chopped onions or bell peppers to the sausage while cooking for extra flavor.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preferences, especially since gravy mix can be salty.
