- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (whole milk or half-and-half)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ tsp garlic powder

For the Sausage Gravy

- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp salt
Optional Garnishes

Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Sausage
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it into small pieces, until browned and cooked through.
- Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
Step 2: Make the Sausage Gravy
- Add the butter to the skillet with the sausage drippings. Melt over medium heat.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Slowly add the milk, whisking continuously to create a smooth sauce.
- Stir in the cooked sausage, black pepper, and salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3: Assemble the Casserole
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- Spread the thawed hashbrowns evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Layer the quartered biscuits on top of the hashbrowns.
- Pour the sausage gravy over the biscuits, spreading evenly to coat.
Step 4: Prepare the Egg Mixture
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Step 5: Bake the Casserole
- Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the eggs are set, the biscuits are cooked through, and the top is golden and bubbly.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
- Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with chopped parsley, green onions, or extra cheese if desired. Serve warm.
