Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Cook the Sausage

• In a large skillet, cook 1 pound of breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles, until browned and fully cooked.

3. Make the Gravy

• Sprinkle 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour over the cooked sausage and stir to coat. Gradually whisk in 2 1/2 cups of milk, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

5. Assemble the Casserole

• Arrange the remaining biscuit pieces on top.

6. Bake

• Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

7. Serve and Enjoy
