Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup of shredded cheese of your choice
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 pound ground pork sausage flavored as preferred
- 1 packet 2.75 oz of peppered gravy mix (yields 2 cups)
- 1 refrigerated 8-count can of large biscuit dough rounds
- Nonstick spray or butter for greasing
Instructions
- Set your oven to preheat at 350°F (175°C), and lightly grease a 13x9-inch baking dish.
- Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat, crumbling as it browns. Once fully cooked, drain off any excess fat.
- Chop each biscuit into roughly 1-inch sections and scatter them across the base of the prepared baking dish in a single, even layer.
- Distribute the cooked sausage over the biscuit pieces.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly across the sausage layer.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the milk until smooth, then season with salt and pepper. Gently pour this egg mixture over the layered ingredients in the baking dish.
- Prepare the gravy according to the directions on the package, resulting in about 2 cups. Once thickened, pour the hot gravy over the entire casserole.
- Transfer the dish to the oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and the eggs have set fully.
- Serve hot. Leftovers can be stored and reheated easily.
Notes
If assembling the casserole in advance and storing overnight, extend the baking time by approximately 20 minutes. Monitor during baking to ensure thorough doneness—biscuits should be fully cooked, and eggs fully set. If the surface begins to over-brown, lightly tent with foil to prevent further coloring.
For a more indulgent touch, consider preparing extra gravy to serve on the side or doubling the batch used in the casserole.
