Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 lbs of breakfast sausage
- 2–3 tablespoons sausage drippings (from cooked sausage)
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 – 2 1/2 cups whole milk (adjust for desired thickness)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups cheese
- 1 can of Grand’s Flaky Layers Buttery Biscuits (8 ct). You can use up to 1 1/2 cans -OR- (2) 5 ct cans if you want to cut them up and cover the bottom of the pan completely.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a 9×13 dish with nonstick spray.
- Cut biscuits into fourths and spread them in the bottom of the dish.
- In a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, crumble cook sausage until browned and fully cooked.
- Dip the sausage out and spread over the biscuits. Drain most of the grease — leaving 2–3 tablespoons of drippings in the skillet.
- Sprinkle the flour over the hot drippings. Stir constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon and cook for 1–2 minutes, until the flour turns a light golden brown color.
- Slowly pour in 2 cups of milk while whisking to prevent lumps. Continue whisking until the gravy starts to thicken — this takes about 5–7 minutes. If the gravy is too thick, add more milk as needed until it’s pourable.
- Add salt and black pepper to taste. (White gravy is traditionally very peppery, but adjust to your preference.) Set aside.
- Whisk eggs and 1 cup of cheese together – pour over biscuits and sausage.
- Pour sausage gravy over the egg mixture.
- Top with the remaining cup of cheese.
- Bake at 350°F for 35-45 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown.
Notes
- When you cut into the casserole, if there’s liquid in the bottom, your casserole is underbaked. It’s not a huge deal but maybe note that you need to cook it a little longer next time.
- This recipe can easily be cut in half and baked in a 9×7 or 8×8 baking dish. There are smaller cans of Grands Biscuits with only 5 biscuits in the can, which work great for a halved recipe.
