  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 (8 count) can refrigerated biscuit dough (such as Pillsbury Grands)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. 2

    Make the Gravy: In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. When browned, remove the meat from the pan with a slotted spoon.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle the flour over the remaining beef fat and stir for 1-2 minutes (add 1 tablespoon of butter if needed). Slowly whisk in 3 cups of milk, followed by the salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add more milk, if needed, then stir the sausage into the gravy until well coated. Reserve 1/2 cup for serving.

  4. 4

    Make the Casserole: Spread half of the gravy in the baking dish. Cut each biscuit into 1/2-1 inch pieces and spread half evenly over the gravy. Sprinkle half of the cheese over the top.

  5. 5

    In a bowl, whisk the eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup cheese, salt, paprika, garlic powder and black pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the biscuits in the dish.

  6. 6

    Dollop/spread the remaining gravy over the egg mixture. Top with the rest of the biscuits and finish with the remaining 1 cup of cheese.

  7. 7

    Bake uncovered for 35-45 minutes, until the eggs are set, the biscuits are cooked, and the top is golden brown. Let stand for 10 minutes.

  8. 8

    While the casserole cools, heat the remaining gravy, stirring well. Serve the casserole with extra gravy on top and garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy!
