Ingredients
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuits
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 package (20 oz) frozen hashbrowns , thawed
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can (10.5 oz) sausage gravy
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) .
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter. Set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Sausage
- In a skillet over medium heat , cook the breakfast sausage , breaking it apart with a spatula until browned and fully cooked.
- Drain any excess fat and set the cooked sausage aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Egg Mixture
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs , milk , salt , and black pepper until smooth and well combined. This mixture will act as a binder and add moisture to the casserole.
Step 4: Layer the Ingredients
- Spread the thawed hashbrowns evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the hashbrowns.
- Top with the shredded cheddar cheese , spreading it out in an even layer.
Step 5: Add the Egg Mixture
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers, ensuring it soaks into the hashbrowns and sausage. Use a spatula to gently press down and distribute the liquid evenly.
Step 6: Bake the Casserole
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes , or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Step 7: Add the Biscuits and Gravy
- While the casserole is baking, prepare the biscuits: Cut the refrigerated biscuits into quarters or small pieces.
- Once the casserole is baked, remove it from the oven and arrange the biscuit pieces evenly on top.
- Spoon the sausage gravy over the biscuit pieces, spreading it out to cover as much surface area as possible.
Step 8: Finish Baking
- Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes , or until the biscuit pieces are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 9: Serve and Enjoy
- Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Serve warm and enjoy as a standalone dish or pair with fresh fruit or a side salad for a complete meal.
Pro Tips
- Gravy Upgrade: For extra flavor, use homemade sausage gravy instead of canned.
- Cheese Variations: Swap cheddar for Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or a blend of cheeses for a different taste.
- Make Ahead: Assemble the casserole (without biscuits and gravy) up to a day in advance. Cover and refrigerate, then bake as directed, adding the biscuits and gravy just before the final bake.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days . Reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven.
