- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup flour
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 9x13 casserole/baking dish with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- Cut biscuits into quarters and place in a single layer in the baking dish.
- In a medium sized bowl, combine the eggs and 1 cup of milk. Whisk to break up eggs and mix with the milk.
- In a large skillet, cook sausage until browned and no longer pink in the middle.
- Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of the cooked sausage over the quartered biscuits in the pan.
- Top with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
- To the pan with the sausage drippings, add the butter and melt over medium heat.
- Sprinkle in the flour, stir to combine, and cook 2-3 minutes to remove the raw flavor.
- Stir in 2 cups milk.
- Continue stirring until gravy thickens.
- Remove from heat and stir in the spices and remainder of cooked sausage.
- Pour over the cheese, sausage, and biscuits in the casserole dish.
- Next, pour the egg and milk mixture over the gravy.
- Top with remaining cup of cheese.
- Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until eggs are set.
- Remove and let cool for 1-2 minutes.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- Use pre-made gravy or use a packet of pepper or sawmill gravy mix. (That’s not cheating, you're making it at home :) I use a packet for extra gravy to serve on the side.
- Homemade sausage gravy if you have a family recipe is the best!
- Gravy can be made with ground pork, beef, or turkey. You can even toss in some cooked bacon. Because it is just a fact that bacon makes everything better.
- Add some red pepper flakes to your sausage if you want a bit more heat from the peppery sausage.
- Make sure to spray your casserole dish with a light coat of cooking spray so you can serve and clean up more easily.
- If it gets too brown while cooking, cover with foil.
- The casserole is done when the eggs are set, it is “puffed up,” and the edges are starting to brown.
