Ingredients
(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 lb breakfast sausage

1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough

3 cups frozen hashbrowns, thawed

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 1/2 cups milk

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided

2 tablespoons unsalted butter (optional, for greasing the pan or enhancing richness)

Directions
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.

Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spoon. Do not drain — you’ll use the drippings for the gravy.

Make the Sausage Gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage. Stir well and cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste. Gradually pour in the milk while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Add pepper, garlic powder, and salt. Simmer for 4–5 minutes until the gravy thickens. Remove from heat.

Cut and Place the Biscuits: Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces. Spread the pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Layer the Casserole: Spoon the thawed hashbrowns evenly over the biscuit pieces. Pour the sausage gravy over the hashbrowns, spreading it out to cover evenly. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Add Remaining Cheese: Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese on top. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Variations
Add Vegetables: Incorporate sautéed onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms for added flavor and nutrition.

Spicy Kick: Use spicy breakfast sausage or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the gravy for heat.

Different Cheeses: Substitute or mix in other cheeses like Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or mozzarella.

Herb Infusion: Add chopped fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or thyme for a fresh flavor.

Storage/Reheating
Storage: Allow the casserole to cool completely. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Freezing: Wrap the cooled casserole tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

Reheating: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until heated through. Individual portions can be reheated in the microwave on medium power for 1–2 minutes.

Can I use a different type of cheese?
Yes, feel free to experiment with cheeses like Swiss, Gouda, or a Mexican blend for different flavor profiles.

Is it necessary to thaw the hashbrowns before using?
Thawing is recommended to ensure even cooking and to prevent excess moisture in the casserole.
