Biscuits and Gravy with Sausage and Egg Breakfast Casserole

This is the kind of dish that feels like slow mornings, a full house, and everyone gathering around the table while the coffee is still brewing. It takes everything we love about a classic Southern breakfast and turns it into one easy, baked casserole that’s perfect for sharing.
Course: Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, Main Course
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 1 8-count tube refrigerated biscuits
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 2 packets country gravy mix
  • 1 12-ounce can evaporated milk, divided
  • 12 large eggs
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Sprinkle the gravy mix over the cooked sausage, then add 1 cup evaporated milk and 1 cup water. Stir well and simmer, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens. Remove from heat.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, the remaining evaporated milk (about 5 ounces), salt, and pepper.
  5. Lightly scramble the egg mixture in a skillet over medium heat until just set but still soft. Do not overcook; the eggs will finish cooking in the oven.
  6. Spread one-third of the sausage gravy mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with half of the scrambled eggs.
  7. Add another layer using one-third of the gravy mixture, followed by the remaining eggs. Finish with the last portion of sausage gravy spread evenly over the top.
  8. Cut the refrigerated biscuits into quarters and arrange them evenly over the casserole.
  9. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and fully cooked through.
  10. Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. Slice and enjoy warm.
  11. Enjoy!
