How to Make Sausage Biscuit Breakfast Casserole
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Step 2: Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, crumble the sausage and cook until browned and no longer pink.
Drain excess fat if needed.
Step 3: Make the Gravy
In a bowl, whisk the Pioneer Brand Peppered Sausage Gravy Mix with 1 cup of water until smooth.
Pour into the skillet with the cooked sausage and stir.
Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes, until the gravy thickens slightly.
Step 4: Stir in the Cheese
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar until melted and fully combined with the sausage gravy.
Step 5: Whisk the Eggs
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt and black pepper until fully blended.
Step 6: Layer in the Baking Dish
Spread the sausage and gravy mixture evenly into the bottom of your prepared dish.
Step 7: Pour in the Eggs
Pour the egg mixture gently over the sausage layer, letting it settle into the filling.
Step 8: Top with Biscuits
Separate the Grands Biscuits and place them evenly across the top of the casserole.
Press lightly so they stick but remain visible.
Step 9: Bake to Golden
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown on top and the egg layer is set in the center.
Step 10: Cool Slightly and Serve
Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy every cheesy, flaky bite!

FAQs
Can I make this ahead of time?
