BISCUITS AND GRAVY BREAKFAST CASSEROLE INGREDIENTS

You will need:

• 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
• ½ an onion, diced
• 10-ounce package of refrigerated biscuit dough, cut into 2 inch pieces
• ½ cup of heavy cream or whole milk
• 5 eggs
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon of oregano
• 1½ cups of cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 pound of breakfast sausage
• 1½ cups of country gravy mix, packet will make 2 cups but you only want to use 1 ½ cups.

SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS

Biscuit Dough: If you can’t get ready-made biscuit dough where you live, take a look at our homemade biscuit recipe.

Heavy Cream: Whole milk will work just as well as heavy cream for this biscuits and gravy breakfast casserole recipe.

Cheddar Cheese: Any type of hard cheese can be used in place of cheddar, so feel free to use Swiss, Monterey Jack, Colby Jack or whatever you have in the fridge.

Breakfast Sausage: Breakfast sausage comes in patties, links or loose sausages and all are fine to use for this recipe. As an alternative, you could use Italian sausage, turkey sausage or make a vegetarian version of this casserole with meat-free sausages.

Country Gravy Mix: If you can’t get hold of country gravy mix, you can easily make your own homemade gravy by whisking together 3 tablespoons of butter, 3 tablespoons of flour, 1½ cups of whole milk, ½ teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. 

Potato: Crispy potatoes would make a great addition to this sausage breakfast bake. Chop them into bite-sized pieces, boil until tender, and then fry alongside the onions.

Bacon: This would make a tasty addition to go alongside the sausage if you desire.

HOW TO MAKE THIS BISCUITS AND GRAVY BREAKFAST CASSEROLE RECIPE

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 350°F.

STEP TWO: Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray. Layer the chopped biscuit dough on the bottom of the pan.

STEP THREE: Melt butter in a medium-sized skillet. Add onion and cook for about three minutes, until the onion is translucent.

STEP FOUR: Add the sausage and continue to cook until it is cooked through and no pink remains.

STEP FIVE: Drain the fat from the sausage and onions then layer them over the biscuits. 

STEP SIX: Whisk together the cream, eggs, garlic powder, and oregano. Pour over the sausage.

STEP SEVEN: Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the egg mixture.

STEP EIGHT: Prepare the gravy mix according to directions and pour one and a half cups over the cheese.

PRO TIP: Most packages of country gravy mix make two cups, so don’t use it all or your casserole will be too wet.

STEP NINE: Bake in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until it’s bubbly and the eggs are cooked through.

STEP TEN: Serve warm.

PRO TIP: Since the packet will give you leftover gravy, save it to pour a little bit extra on top of your plate when you are serving.
