Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 pound sausage
- 6 eggs
Dairy and Cheese:
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup milk
Baking and Seasoning:
- 1 package Pioneer Brand Peppered Sausage Gravy Mix
- 1 can Pillsbury Grands Biscuits
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375°F and thoroughly coat a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Crumble the sausage into a large skillet, cooking over medium-high heat until it transforms into crispy, golden-brown morsels with no pink remaining.
- Whisk the gravy mix with water in a separate bowl until the mixture reaches a smooth, lump-free consistency.
- Pour the gravy into the skillet with the cooked sausage, stirring continuously to create a uniform blend. Allow the mixture to simmer and thicken for 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the shredded cheese, ensuring it melts completely and integrates with the sausage gravy.
- In a clean mixing bowl, vigorously whisk the eggs with milk, seasoning with salt and pepper until the mixture is thoroughly combined and slightly frothy.
- Spread the sausage and cheese gravy evenly across the prepared baking dish, creating a uniform base layer.
- Gently cascade the egg mixture over the sausage layer, ensuring complete coverage.
- Strategically arrange the biscuits on top of the egg layer, creating an appealing and even surface.
- Transfer the casserole to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, monitoring until the biscuits turn a rich golden brown and the eggs set completely.
- Let the casserole rest for a few minutes after removing from the oven, then slice and serve while warm for maximum flavor and enjoyment.
Notes
- Customize the spice level by using mild or hot sausage depending on personal preference.
- Opt for low-fat milk and reduced-fat cheese to create a lighter version of this hearty breakfast casserole.
- Make ahead by preparing the entire dish the night before and refrigerating, which allows flavors to meld and simplifies morning preparation.
- Swap out traditional biscuits with gluten-free biscuits or bread to accommodate dietary restrictions without compromising taste.
