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
- 1 16.3-ounce tube biscuits (8 count)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Cook Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown and crumble the sausage until fully cooked and browned.
- Make Gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage, stir well, and cook for 1 minute. Slowly add the 3 1/4 cups milk while stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and thickened. Add black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes. Let the gravy come to a boil while stirring occasionally, then remove from heat and set aside.
- Scramble Eggs: In a large microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1/4 cup milk, and diced red pepper. Pour the egg mixture into a hot skillet and scramble until fully cooked.
- Prepare Biscuits: Open the tube of biscuits and cut each biscuit into 8 pieces. Arrange the biscuit pieces evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Assemble Casserole: Layer the scrambled eggs evenly over the biscuit pieces, pour the sausage gravy mixture on top of the eggs, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the casserole.
- Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Bake Uncovered: Remove the cover and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the biscuits are cooked through and the top is golden and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use store-bought biscuit dough to save time and simplify preparation.
- Red pepper flakes can be omitted or adjusted according to spice preference.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute sausage with plant-based sausage.
- You can add other vegetables like diced onions or mushrooms to the scrambled eggs for added flavor.
- Ensure the sausage gravy reaches a boil to properly thicken before assembling.
