Here’s a simple construction for a Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Casserole:
Ingredients
- For the Casserole:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-10 biscuits)
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped green onions or bell peppers
- For the Gravy:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). - Cook the Sausage:
In a skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat. - Make the Gravy:
- In the same skillet, sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage. Stir to combine.
- Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
- Prepare the Casserole:
- In a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, cut the biscuit dough into quarters and spread them evenly across the bottom.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the biscuit pieces.
- Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the egg mixture and top with shredded cheese.
- Add the Gravy:
Drizzle the sausage gravy over the entire casserole. - Bake:
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the biscuits are golden brown. - Serve:
Let it cool slightly before serving. Optionally, garnish with chopped green onions.
Enjoy your hearty breakfast casserole!
