Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat and Prep:

Set the oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking. This ensures your casserole lifts out in perfect pieces

Brown the Sausage:

In a large skillet cook the sausage on medium heat using a spatula to crumble it into small bits. Stir and cook until fully browned and no pink remains. Drain all the excess fat so the casserole stays light and flavorful

Layer the Hashbrowns and Sausage:

Spread frozen hashbrowns in an even layer across the bottom of your greased dish. Scatter cooked sausage evenly over the hashbrowns to ensure every bite delivers a mix of textures

Make the Gravy:

In a bowl whisk together the gravy mix and milk until perfectly smooth with no lumps left. This is your creamy glue bringing all the breakfast flavors together

Assemble the Casserole:

Pour the prepared gravy evenly over the sausage and hashbrowns letting it seep down so every layer gets saucy. Sprinkle on all the cheddar cheese for a cheesy blanket

Top with Biscuits:

Cut each biscuit into four pieces. Arrange the biscuit quarters over the entire casserole gently pressing them down. This helps them bake up golden on top but still steam soft inside

Bake and Finish:

Slide the dish into your hot oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The casserole is ready when the biscuits are deeply golden and there is bubbling at the edges. Let it rest a few minutes before serving so the layers hold together

I have a soft spot for the hashbrown layer. My grandfather insisted every breakfast needed potatoes so now I never skip them in this recipe. The smell reminds me of his kitchen on chilly Sunday mornings.

Storage Tips

Leftovers can be cooled completely and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. For longer storage you can freeze the baked or unbaked casserole wrapped tightly in foil then let thaw overnight before reheating. To reheat bake covered at 350°F until warmed through or microwave individual portions for a quick weekday breakfast.

Ingredient Substitutions

If you do not have pork sausage turkey or chicken sausage works well. Gluten free biscuits and gravy mix can make this dish celiac friendly. Veggie crumbles and plant based gravy are great options for a vegetarian variation just make sure to boost the seasoning.

Serving Suggestions

Pair a square of this casserole with a big fruit salad or fresh orange juice for color and brightness on the plate. For extra flavor drizzle with a little hot sauce or serve alongside sliced tomatoes and fresh herbs on top. It makes an impressive brunch spread when served family style with a jug of coffee.
