Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the breakfast sausage, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess grease.
3
While the sausage cooks, open the can of biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters.
4
Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange the quartered biscuits in a single layer on the bottom.
5
Top the biscuits with the cooked sausage, followed by an even layer of shredded cheese.
6
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
7
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese and sausage layer.
8
Prepare the country gravy mix according to the package directions.
9
Pour the prepared gravy over the top of the entire casserole.
10
Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Quarter the biscuits before layering to distribute them evenly and prevent large dry pockets in the final casserole.
Brown the breakfast sausage fully and break it into small crumbles for consistent texture and even sausage distribution throughout.
Whisk eggs and milk together until smooth before pouring to ensure the custard base sets evenly and doesn't curdle.
Let the assembled casserole rest 10 minutes at room temperature before baking so the biscuits absorb some moisture and the gravy distributes.

Substitutions

Breakfast sausage → ground Italian sausage or turkey sausage (adjust seasoning to taste)
Cheddar cheese → Monterey Jack or Gruyère (sharp or mild varieties both work)
Country gravy mix → homemade gravy from sausage drippings, flour, and milk (no flavor loss)
Refrigerated biscuits → homemade buttermilk biscuits, cubed and lightly toasted (adds more texture)

Storage & make-ahead

Cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days. Reheat covered in a 325°F oven for 15–20 minutes until warmed through, or microwave individual portions for 1–2 minutes.

Common Questions

Can I make this casserole the night before?

Yes. Assemble the casserole, cover tightly with foil, and refrigerate overnight. Bake as directed, adding 5–10 minutes to the bake time if starting from cold.
