Ingredients
Scale
Sausage Gravy
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 1/3 cup flour
- 3 1/4 cups milk
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Egg Mixture
- 6 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup diced red pepper
Casserole Base and Topping
- 1 16.3-ounce tube biscuits (8 count)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat the oven to 350℉ and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown and crumble the breakfast sausage until fully cooked and no longer pink.
- Make Gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir, cooking for 1 minute to eliminate raw flour taste. Slowly add the 3 1/4 cups milk while stirring constantly until fully incorporated and smooth. Add the black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using), and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Scramble Eggs: In a large microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the 6 eggs, 1/4 cup milk, and diced red pepper until combined. Pour the egg mixture into a hot skillet and scramble over medium heat until cooked through but still moist. Remove from heat.
- Prepare Biscuit Base: Open the tube of biscuits and cut each biscuit into 8 pieces. Arrange all biscuit pieces evenly in a single layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Assemble Casserole: Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the biscuit pieces. Pour the sausage gravy over the eggs, followed by an even layer of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake Casserole: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the biscuits are cooked through.
Notes
- Using store-bought biscuit dough makes this recipe quick and easy to assemble.
- You can add other diced vegetables such as onions or green peppers to the eggs for extra flavor.
- If you prefer a spicier gravy, increase the red pepper flakes to taste.
- Make sure to scramble the eggs gently to keep them tender and fluffy.
- Use a full-fat milk for creamier gravy or substitute with low-fat milk for a lighter version.
