Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Sausage Gravy:

- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups whole milk (or half-and-half for extra creaminess)
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Casserole:
- 8–10 refrigerated biscuits (homemade or store-bought)
- 8 large eggs
- ½ cup heavy cream or milk
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (plus more for topping if desired)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Sausage Gravy
Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbled. Remove from the skillet and set aside, leaving about 2 tablespoons of drippings in the pan.
Make the Roux: Add the butter to the skillet and melt. Stir in the flour to create a roux, cooking for 1–2 minutes until lightly golden.
Add Milk and Seasoning: Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens (about 5–7 minutes). Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Combine with Sausage: Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and mix well. Set aside.
2. Assemble the Casserole
Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Prepare the Biscuits: Cut the biscuits into quarters or smaller pieces and spread them evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream (or milk), salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the biscuit pieces, ensuring they’re evenly coated.
