Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) breakfast sausage
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups (480 ml) whole milk
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk
- 1 cup (100 g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 (20 oz / 567 g) package frozen hashbrowns, thawed
- 1 (16 oz / 450 g) can of refrigerated biscuit dough, quartered
- ¼ cup (30 g) all-purpose flour
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously grease a baking dish with non-stick spray.
- Sausage Transformation: Brown sausage in a skillet, then sprinkle flour over the meat, stirring to create a flavorful base. Cook for 1-2 minutes to develop depth.
- Gravy Creation: Pour milk into the sausage, whisking continuously to form a smooth, rich gravy. Season with salt and pepper, simmering until thickened and velvety.
- Layering Foundation: Spread hashbrowns evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a crispy base for the casserole.
- Flavor Fusion: Pour the sausage gravy over the hashbrowns, ensuring complete coverage. Generously scatter cheddar cheese across the surface.
- Egg Integration: Combine eggs and milk in a bowl, seasoning with salt and pepper. Gently pour the egg mixture over the existing layers, allowing it to settle between the ingredients.
- Biscuit Topping: Randomly distribute biscuit dough pieces across the casserole, creating a rustic and textured surface.
- Baking Finale: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until biscuits turn golden brown and eggs are completely set.
- Serving Presentation: Allow the casserole to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Offer additional gravy or hot sauce on the side for enhanced flavor.
Notes
- Prep Shortcut: Thaw frozen hashbrowns completely and pat dry to prevent excess moisture, ensuring crispy bottom layer and preventing soggy texture.
- Sausage Selection: Choose high-quality breakfast sausage with robust flavor; leaner versions work well but might require added fat for richer gravy consistency.
- Egg Distribution: Gently pour egg mixture, allowing it to seep between layers without disturbing hashbrown and sausage arrangement for even cooking and consistent texture.
- Make-Ahead Magic: Assemble casserole night before, cover tightly, refrigerate, and bake morning-of for stress-free breakfast preparation with enhanced flavor melding.
