Ingredients (Serves 6–8):

For the Savory Layered Base:

• 1 lb Jimmy Dean Premium Pork Sausage (or breakfast sausage, crumbled)
• 3 cups frozen shredded hash browns (or fresh grated russet potatoes – par-cook if needed)
• 1 packet (2.75 oz) McCormick Sausage Flavor Gravy Mix (or regular brown gravy mix + seasoning)
• 2 cups milk (or plant-based milk for lighter version)
• 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or vegan cheese)
• ½ tsp salt (adjust if using pre-seasoned sausage)
• ¼ tsp black pepper (or white pepper for smoother finish)
• ½ tsp garlic powder (optional – enhances savory depth)
• 1 stick (8 oz) butter (for extra richness – optional but recommended)

For the Biscuit Topping:

• 1 (16 oz) can Pillsbury Grands! Buttermilk Biscuits (or store-bought flaky biscuits)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prep Oven & Pan

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) .

Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish generously to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Cook the Sausage

In a skillet over medium heat , cook sausage until fully cooked (6–8 minutes ), breaking it up as it cooks.

Drain excess grease if needed.

Step 3: Assemble the Layers

Spread frozen hash browns evenly across the bottom of the pan.

Top with cooked sausage in an even layer.

Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the meat layer.

Tip: For richer flavor, melt 4 tbsp butter and drizzle over hash browns before topping.

Step 4: Make the Gravy

In a bowl, whisk:

• Gravy mix and milk together until smooth.

Pour over the sausage and hashbrown layers.

Step 5: Add the Biscuit Crown

Open the can of biscuits and cut each into quarters .

Arrange biscuit pieces evenly over the top—don’t press them down.

Step 6: Bake Until Golden

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes , or until biscuits are golden brown and fully cooked through.

Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Each bite brings together:

• Crispy, golden hashbrown crust
• Juicy, spiced pork pockets
• Silky, creamy gravy swirl
• Melty, gooey cheese finish
• And that classic biscuit-butter charm

Tips for Success:

• 🧈 Use Real Butter: For deeper richness, stir melted butter into the hashbrowns before baking.
• 🥣 Don’t Overmix Gravy: Whisk well but avoid air bubbles—let sit briefly before pouring.
• 🥟 Biscuit Hack: Use parchment paper between layers to ensure even rise and golden tops.
• 🧑‍🍳 Make It Creamier: Stir in sour cream or Greek yogurt into the gravy for extra body.
• ❄️ Make Ahead Magic: Assemble and refrigerate overnight—bake fresh when ready.

Serving Suggestions:

• Pair with sliced avocado, pickles, or hot sauce for contrast.
• Great with a side of scrambled eggs or roasted tomatoes .
