Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Casserole

Preheat your oven to its highest temperature setting, 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Next, take a butter knife and spread a generous amount of butter evenly onto the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

In a large skillet, heat a significant amount of oil over medium-high heat. Add sliced sausage and cook, using the back of a spoon to break it up, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes.

To reduce the heat and prevent burning, switch to medium heat in your skillet. Sprinkle a thin layer of flour evenly over the cooked sausage, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for 1 minute, then add milk and stir vigorously, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a spatula. Continue stirring occasionally for 7 minutes, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the skillet from heat.

Crack multiple eggs into the prepared baking dish and whisk them together with any remaining salt and pepper until well combined. Cut each biscuit into quarters and arrange a single layer of them over the eggs. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of shredded Cheddar cheese evenly over the biscuits. Pour the cooked sausage gravy over the cheese and spread it out uniformly. Top with an additional 1/2 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese.

Place the baking dish in your preheated oven and bake until golden brown and bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes. Allow the dish to stand for 5 minutes before serving.
