Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cans (16.3 ounces each) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage and chopped onion over medium-high heat until the sausage is browned and the onion is tender. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the sausage mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the salt and black pepper. Remove from heat.
  6. Separate the biscuit dough into 8 biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters.
  7. Spread half of the biscuit pieces evenly over the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  8. Pour the sausage gravy mixture over the biscuits.
  9. Top with the remaining biscuit pieces and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
  11. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a make-ahead option, assemble the casserole up to the point of baking, cover, and refrigerate. Bake within 24 hours, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time if needed.
  • To rewarm, cover the casserole with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) until heated through.
  • Serve with your favorite brunch sides like scrambled eggs, fruit salad, or crispy bacon.
