Easy Breakfast Casserole with Biscuits and Gravy

Ingredients

• 1 pound bulk breakfast sausage
• 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 2.25 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt , divided
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper , divided
• 1 tablespoon butter , softened
• 6 large eggs
• 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough , 16.3 ounce
• 3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2. 2

   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, crumbling with the back of a spoon, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes.

3. 3

   Reduce heat to medium and sprinkle flour evenly over sausage. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add milk and stir, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook, stirring often, about 7 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Remove from heat.

4. 4

   Crack eggs into the prepared baking dish and whisk in remaining salt and pepper until well blended. Cut each biscuit in quarters and arrange in a single layer over eggs. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese over the biscuits. Pour sausage gravy over the cheese and spread evenly. Top with remaining cheese.

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
