Ingredients
For the Sausage Gravy:
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
For the Casserole:
- 1 (26 oz) bag frozen hashbrowns, thawed
- 1½ cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuits
Ingredient Swaps & Notes
- Sausage: Turkey sausage or plant-based crumbles can be used as a lighter alternative.
- Milk: Use whole milk for a creamier texture, or try almond milk if dairy-free.
- Cheese: Feel free to experiment with pepper jack, mozzarella, or a sharp white cheddar.
- Biscuits: Homemade biscuit dough can be used if you have the time.
How to Make It – Step-by-Step
1. Make the Sausage Gravy
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the breakfast sausage, breaking it into crumbles. Once fully cooked, sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to coat. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens (about 5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
2. Assemble the Casserole
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13 baking dish. Spread thawed hashbrowns evenly in the dish. Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, and shredded cheddar cheese. Pour the hot sausage gravy over the hashbrowns. Cut each biscuit into quarters and scatter them evenly on top of the gravy.
3. Bake & Serve
Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes or until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown. Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. This dish is best enjoyed warm.
Tips for Success
- Thaw the Hashbrowns: Make sure they’re fully thawed and patted dry to prevent sogginess.
- Biscuit Placement: Don’t overcrowd the biscuits—leave some space for them to expand and brown.
- Gravy Thickness: The gravy should be pourable but not runny. If too thick, add a splash more milk.
