Key Ingredients
- 1 can (16 ounces) refrigerated biscuits
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for thickening the gravy)
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 3 cups frozen hashbrowns, thawed
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley (for garnish)
Tools Needed
- 9×13-inch baking dish
- Large skillet
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Whisk
- Mixing bowls
Cooking Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Cook the Sausage & Make the Gravy
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula until fully browned (about 5–7 minutes).
Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir for 1 minute to coat. This helps thicken the gravy.
Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly. Let it cook for 3–5 minutes until it thickens into a creamy, smooth gravy.
Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Stir well, then remove from heat.
Step 3: Layer the Casserole
Spread the thawed hashbrowns evenly in the greased baking dish. Pour half of the sausage gravy over the hashbrowns, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the gravy. Arrange the biscuits on top, evenly spaced apart.
Step 4: Bake the Casserole
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 5: Finish & Serve
Remove the casserole from the oven. Pour the remaining sausage gravy over the biscuits.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and dried parsley on top.
