Ingredients:
For the base:
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough, cut into quarters
For the filling:
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder (optional)
- 2 cups shredded hashbrowns (thawed if frozen)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, but recommended)
Instructions
Step 1: Brown the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until fully browned and no longer pink. Break it into small crumbles as it cooks. Once done, drain excess grease if needed but leave about a tablespoon for the gravy.
Step 2: Make the Gravy
Sprinkle the flour over the sausage in the skillet and stir for 1 minute to coat evenly. Gradually add the milk while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue cooking, stirring often, until the gravy thickens (about 5–7 minutes).
Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Remove from heat.
Step 3: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 4: Assemble the Casserole
Spread the biscuit pieces evenly in the baking dish.
Top with the shredded hashbrowns.
Pour the sausage gravy over the top, making sure everything is coated.
If using cheese, sprinkle it evenly on top.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and the casserole is bubbling and set.
Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before serving for easier slicing and serving.
Tips for Success
- Make it ahead: Assemble everything the night before, cover, refrigerate, and bake in the morning.
- Cheese it up: Mix in different cheeses like pepper jack or mozzarella for extra flavor.
- Add veggies: Diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or sautéed onions make great additions.
- Spice it up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or hot sauce for a kick.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use homemade biscuits?
Yes! Just partially bake them before adding to the casserole so they don’t get soggy.

Absolutely. You can freeze the casserole before or after baking. If unbaked, wrap tightly and bake from frozen, adding 10–15 minutes to the bake time.
Can I use plant-based milk?
Yes, though the texture and flavor may differ. Unsweetened oat or almond milk works best.
