Instructions
- Make Sausage Gravy: Brown sausage in a large saucepan. Use a paper towel to blot out most of the grease from the pan. Add flour, butter, and half & half. Cook on medium-low, stirring often, for several minutes until thickened.
- Make Biscuits: Stir flour baking powder and salt together. Add shortening and cut in with forks or a pastry blender until mixture is small crumbs. Stir in milk to form a dough. Pour dough onto a floured surface and shape into a rectangle about ¾ inch thick.
- Mix eggs, milk and spices in a mixing bowl.
- Assemble: Cut biscuit dough into 1/2 inch pieces and scatter half of the biscuit dough along the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan. Pour egg mixture over the biscuits. Spoon sausage gravy evenly on top, then sprinkle with cheese. Add remaining biscuit dough pieces on top.

Notes
- Biscuits: you could use a tube of store-bought biscuit dough, if needed.
- Make Ahead Instructions: Follow the recipe instructions up until the baking part. Cover the unbaked casserole and keep in the refrigerator for up to a day in advance. Take out of the fridge for 30 minutes before baking to let it come to room temperature then bake as normal.
- Freezing Instructions: Let the casserole cool then place lid on or wrap in plastic wrap and a double layer of aluminum foil and keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let it thaw overnight in the refrigerator then take off plastic wrap and let it rewarm in the oven, covered with a sheet of aluminum foil.
