Made with just 3 ingredients and a few minutes of your time! This quick and easy breakfast casserole is a breeze to make for Sunday brunch, slumber parties, holidays, or any special occasion when you want to impress your family in the morning with yummy comfort food.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork sausage (any kind)
- 2 (2.75oz) packets of gravy mix (I use peppered)
- 1-2 (16.3oz) cans refrigerated homestyle biscuits *see notes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F and pull out that dusty 9x13 baking dish from the back of your cabinet.
- In a medium size pan, chop and brown the sausage into crumbles over medium heat. Remove any excess grease by blotting it out with a paper towel. You can also strain the grease if you like to do dishes.
- At the same time, prepare your gravy packets which should only require boiled water and a few minutes of whisking.
- Place the crumbled sausage and hot gravy into your casserole dish and mix well. My photos show the gravy on top, but after some trial and error, I think it's best to have the sausage mixed in so the biscuits don't sink.
- Open up your biscuits and use a pizza cutter or knife to cut them into quarters or bite-size pieces. Place those little guys evenly into your dish on top of the gravy mixture.
- Bake in the center rack of your oven for 20+ minutes or until the biscuits are a deep golden brown.
- Enjoy alone or with scrambled eggs, hash browns, fruit, or anything else your family likes to nibble on in the morning.
Notes
- The great thing about this recipe is you can customize it based on how many people you're feeding. Two packets of gravy mix makes a lot of gravy so you could even get away with using two cans of biscuits if you're serving a crowd.
- Looking for side dish ideas? Scrambled eggs and these Crispy Sheet Pan Hash Browns are a family favorite. You could also include bacon, fruit, orange juice, avocado, sautéed bell peppers, etc.
- If your family likes a lot of flavor, try the Spicy Pork Sausage for a little kick. You could also add additional seasoning to the gravy mix such as black pepper, garlic powder, cayenne, or a little extra salt.
