3 cups (720 ml) whole milk (warm)

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 can (16 oz / 450 g) refrigerated biscuits (like Pillsbury, or homemade)
-
1 cup (120 g) shredded cheddar cheese
-
2 large eggs (optional, for a richer casserole)
Instructions:
-
Cook the sausage

In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until browned and crumbled. Remove sausage and set aside (leave about 1 tbsp grease in the pan).

-
Make the gravy
-
Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
-
Slowly whisk in warm milk until smooth and thickened.
-
Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes.
-
Stir in the cooked sausage. Remove from heat.
-
-
Prepare the biscuits

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Cut each biscuit into quarters and place half of them evenly in the dish.

-
Layer the casserole
-
Pour half of the sausage gravy over the biscuits.
-
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese.
-
Layer the remaining biscuit pieces on top.
-
Pour the rest of the gravy and sprinkle remaining cheese.
(Optional: Beat the eggs and pour evenly over the casserole for extra richness and structure.)
-
-
Bake
-
Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through.
-
-
Serve
-
Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve warm.

Great with a side of scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, or fresh fruit. 🍳🥔🍓
