How to Make Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Casserole

Let’s make this delightful breakfast casserole together!

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned, breaking it up as it cooks for even flavor.
Once cooked, remove the sausage from the pan and set it aside.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Cut the refrigerated biscuits into quarters and spread them evenly in the greased baking dish.
Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the biscuit pieces, distributing it evenly.
Pour the egg mixture over the top, ensuring all the biscuits are covered.
Finally, sprinkle with your choice of shredded cheese and add green onions if desired.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is a beautiful golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before serving, and then dig in!

Spicy Kick: Add chopped jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a zesty twist.
Veggie Lover’s Delight: Mix in sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or spinach for a nutritious kick.
Cheesy Heaven: Try using a blend of cheeses like pepper jack or mozzarella for an indulgent melt.
