¼ teaspoon black pepper – Adds a touch of spice.
¼ teaspoon garlic powder – For a savory kick.
¼ teaspoon onion powder – Complements the sausage and gravy.

For the Homemade Gravy:

¼ cup butter – Forms the base for a rich roux.
¼ cup all-purpose flour – Thickens the gravy.
2 cups milk – Creates a smooth creamy sauce.
Salt and pepper to taste – Adjust to your preference.

Method

Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

Cook the Sausage

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook 1 lb of breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked.
Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside.

Make the Gravy

In the same skillet, melt ¼ cup of butter over medium heat.
Stir in ¼ cup of flour to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes until it turns a light golden color.
Slowly whisk in 2 cups of milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
Continue to cook until the gravy thickens (about 2-3 minutes), then season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble the Casserole

Arrange the baked and quartered biscuits in the greased baking dish.
Evenly distribute the cooked sausage over the biscuits.
Pour the homemade gravy over the sausage and biscuits.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Prepare the Egg Mixture

In a large bowl, whisk together: 6 large eggs, 2 cups milk, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon onion powder
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole.

Bake the Casserole

Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Make it ahead: Prepare the sausage gravy and assemble the casserole the night before. Cover and refrigerate, then bake fresh in the morning.
For extra flavor, add diced onions or mushrooms to the sausage while cooking.
Serve with scrambled eggs or fresh fruit on the side for a complete breakfast.
