Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 8-count tube refrigerated biscuit dough such as Pillsbury Grands
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ⅓ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese divided
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley optional, for garnishing
Instructions
- Prepare the Sausage Gravy. In a large skillet, cook the ground pork sausage over medium heat until completely browned, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Once cooked, remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
- Make the Gravy Base. Add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, whisk in the flour to form a roux. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the roux is lightly golden. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Stir in the onion powder, Kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook the mixture over medium heat, whisking frequently, until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
- Prepare the Biscuit Dough. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with some unsalted butter. Cut the refrigerated biscuit dough into quarters and arrange the pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and ⅓ teaspoon Kosher salt until fully combined.
- Assemble the Casserole. Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the prepared biscuit dough pieces. Pour the gravy over the sausage layer, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded pepper Colby Jack cheese over the gravy. Carefully pour the prepared egg mixture over the cheese, then add the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese on top.
- Bake the Casserole. Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted.
- Garnish and Serve. Allow the casserole to rest for 10 minutes after baking. Garnish with minced fresh parsley, and enjoy!
