Casserole Ingredients
1can (16 oz)Refrigerated biscuits
1lbBreakfast sausage
1cupShredded cheddar cheese
2cupsFrozen hash browns, thawed
1packetCountry gravy mixplus milk/water as needed, according to package directions
1cupMilk
4largeEggs
1teaspoonBlack pepper
Optional Garnish
Fresh parsley or green onionsfor garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a dab of butter or nonstick spray.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Drain off excess grease.
Follow the package directions to make your country gravy, using the cooked sausage (or stir the sausage into the finished gravy, if you prefer a smoother sauce).
Open the can of biscuits and cut each one into quarters. Place the biscuit pieces evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Evenly distribute the thawed hashbrowns over the biscuit pieces, then sprinkle with black pepper.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hashbrowns. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk, then pour this mixture over the casserole, trying to cover as much as possible.
Pour the sausage gravy evenly on top of everything.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the biscuits are cooked through and the top is golden and bubbling.
Let cool for a few minutes, garnish with chopped parsley or green onions, and serve warm.
Notes
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven. You can also prepare the casserole the night before and bake it in the morning.
