Ingredients
-
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 added richness)
Instructions
-
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 skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned, breaking it apart. Do not drain; retain drippings for the gravy.
-
Make the Gravy: Sprinkle flour over sausage. Stir and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add black pepper, garlic powder, and salt. Simmer until thickened (4–5 minutes). Remove from heat.
-
Prepare Biscuits: Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces. Distribute evenly in the baking dish.
-
Layer Casserole: Top biscuits with thawed hashbrowns, then pour sausage gravy evenly over the top. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese over the gravy.
-
Bake: Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.
-
Finish and Serve: Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese on top and bake 5 more minutes, or until melted. Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Notes
-
For extra flavor, add sautéed onions or green chiles to the hashbrowns.
-
You can prep this casserole the night before and bake fresh in the morning.

Serve with hot sauce or chopped green onions for a tasty finish.
