Servings: 8
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
Ingredients
- 2 cans large refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits total), cut into quarters
- 1 lb halal ground turkey breakfast sausage (or ground chicken)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Peppered gravy layer
- 1 packet peppered gravy mix (about 2¾ oz, makes 2 cups gravy)
- Water or milk as directed on the gravy package
Optional swaps and add-ins
- Use mozzarella or a cheese blend instead of cheddar
- Swap turkey sausage for chicken or beef sausage
- Use dairy-free milk and plant-based cheese if needed
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 13×9 inch baking dish.
- Cook the turkey sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Break it up as it cooks until fully browned, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain any extra liquid and set aside.
- Cut each biscuit into four pieces and spread them evenly across the bottom of the baking dish. Think messy but evenly messy.
- Add the cooked sausage over the biscuits so every bite gets some flavor.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the sausage layer.
- Whisk the eggs and milk together in a bowl. Add salt and pepper, then pour the mixture slowly over the casserole so it seeps into all the biscuit pieces.
- Prepare the gravy according to package instructions until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the warm gravy evenly over the entire dish. It might look like a lot but trust the process.
- Bake uncovered for 40 to 45 minutes until the biscuits puff up and the top turns golden brown. The center should feel set, not jiggly.
- Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before cutting. This helps everything hold together and makes serving way easier.
Notes and Serving Tips
This recipe is perfect for meal prep mornings. You can assemble the whole casserole the night before, cover it, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning just bake it, adding about 20 extra minutes since it starts cold.
If you love extra gravy, make another packet and serve it on the side. Nobody complains about more gravy.
If the top starts getting too brown while baking, loosely cover with foil so it doesn’t burn.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat single portions in the microwave in short bursts or warm the whole casserole in a 350°F oven covered with foil.
You can also freeze portions once cooled. Just thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat when ready.
