Ingredients

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage (use halal or turkey sausage to avoid pork)
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuits (10 count)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a bit of heat)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  • Cook the sausage: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breakfast sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 7–8 minutes. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
  • Make the roux and gravy: Reduce heat to medium. To the skillet drippings, add the melted butter and whisk in the flour. Cook this mixture, whisking constantly, for 1–2 minutes until it forms a golden roux.
  • Whisk in milk: Slowly add the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Keep cooking and stirring until the gravy thickens, about 4–5 minutes.
  • Combine sausage and season: Stir the cooked sausage back into the gravy. Add salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if using, adjusting seasoning to taste. Remove from heat.
  • Prepare the biscuits: Cut each refrigerated biscuit into quarters. Place half of the biscuit pieces evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  • Assemble the casserole: Pour the sausage gravy mixture evenly over the biscuits. Top with the remaining biscuit pieces.
  • Bake the casserole: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, until the biscuits are golden and flaky and the top is bubbly and lightly browned.
  • Let rest: Allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Make sure sausage is fully cooked through if using ground meat.
For extra richness, you can add a bit of evaporated or whole milk to the gravy mixture.
This casserole reheats well and is perfect for leftovers.
