Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • salt and pepper
  • 12 ounces refrigerated canned biscuits cut into quarters
  • 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese grated
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons salted butter
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° and spray a 7×11 inch (approximately) baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. 
  • Fry up sausage according to package directions, until no pink is remaining. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Quarter your biscuit dough and sprinkle it on the bottom of prepared baking dish.
  • Spoon the cooked sausage on top of the biscuit dough. Don’t dump out the sausage grease, you’ll want to save it for the gravy. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the sausage. 
  • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and brown sugar until smooth. Pour the whisked eggs mixture over the biscuit dough, sausage and cheese. 
  • In the same greased skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux. Let this cook for about 2 minutes. Then, slowly whisk in the salt, pepper, thyme, and milk. (Don’t pour it in all at once) Keep this on medium high heat until thickened into a gravy. 
  • Pour the gravy on top of the casserole and bake it in the oven for 35-40 minutes. Check if the biscuits and eggs are cooked, if not, continue to bake it, checking every 5 minutes to see if it’s fully cooked. Serve and enjoy! 

Notes

Storage – Cover the leftovers well and keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you don’t think you’ll eat the leftovers right away, they can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. To heat up the leftovers from frozen, allow them to defrost overnight, wrap a serving of the casserole in foil and bake it for 20 minutes at 350° to warm it up.
