Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage ground
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- salt
- black pepper
- 12 ounces canned biscuits cut into quarters, refrigerated
- 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese grated
- 6 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons butter salted
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups milk whole
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° and spray a 7×11 inch (approximately) baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Fry up sausage according to package directions, until no pink is remaining. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Quarter your biscuit dough and sprinkle it on the bottom of prepared baking dish.
- Spoon the cooked sausage on top of the biscuit dough. Don’t dump out the sausage grease, you’ll want to save it for the gravy. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the sausage.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and brown sugar until smooth. Pour the whisked eggs mixture over the biscuit dough, sausage and cheese.
- In the same greased skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux. Let this cook for about 2 minutes. Then, slowly whisk in the salt, pepper, thyme, and milk. (Don’t pour it in all at once) Keep this on medium high heat until thickened into a gravy.
- Pour the gravy on top of the casserole and bake it in the oven for 35-40 minutes. Check if the biscuits and eggs are cooked, if not, continue to bake it, checking every 5 minutes to see if it’s fully cooked. Serve and enjoy!
