Southern biscuit & sausage gravy casserole


What I had:
  • 1 can Pillsbury Southern style biscuits
  • 1 lb hot sausage, browned and drained
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1packet gravy mix
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • Salt & pepper to taste
What I did:
  • Cut the biscuits into quarters and lined a greased 9X13 pan
  • Layered the crumbled sausage on top of the biscuits
  • Layered the shredded cheese on top of the sausage
  • Whisked the eggs and milk together with salt and pepper, poured it on top of the cheese
  • Made the gravy according to package instructions and poured it over everything
  • Baked 55 minutes at 350 degrees
  • Enjoyed it a lot with some cholula hot sauce!

Things to change for next time:
  • Double the amount of sausage
  • Lower the amount of salt - there was enough in the sausage and the gravy mix
  • Mix the eggs, milk and gravy together before pouring it over the biscuits and sausage
