Tender biscuits, sausage gravy, hashbrowns, and cheddar come together for a quick, delicious breakfast bake.

# Ingredients Needed:

→ Casserole Base

01 - 1 (16-ounce) package shredded frozen hash browns, thawed

→ Sausage Layer

02 - 1 (16-ounce) package pork breakfast sausage

→ Gravy Mixture

03 - 1 (2.64-ounce) packet sausage flavor country gravy mix
04 - 2 cups whole milk

→ Cheese Topping

05 - 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese

→ Biscuit Topping

06 - 1 can (16.3 ounces) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits

→ Seasoning

07 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
08 - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
09 - 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

→ Preparation

10 - Unsalted butter or nonstick cooking spray for greasing pan

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly with butter or nonstick spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
02 - In a large skillet over medium heat, cook pork sausage, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula. Stir often until sausage is cooked through and no pink remains, about 8 minutes. Drain excess grease completely.
03 - Evenly spread thawed hash browns into the prepared baking dish. Scatter cooked, drained sausage over the hash browns for an even layer.
04 - In a mixing bowl, combine the sausage gravy mix with milk, whisking vigorously until completely smooth without lumps. Pour evenly over the sausage and hash browns to coat every part.
05 - Sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar cheese across the surface to form an even layer. Press gently with your hand to set the cheese into the gravy.
06 - Open the can of refrigerated biscuits and cut each biscuit into 4 equal pieces. Arrange biscuit pieces evenly over the top, overlapping slightly to cover the entire surface.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes or until biscuits are puffed and deep golden brown. Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before serving to help set the layers.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - Allow the baked casserole to rest before serving so the layers stay intact.
02 - Drain sausage thoroughly to prevent excess grease from making the casserole soggy.
03 - Leftover portions can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to four days and reheated in the oven to maintain biscuit texture.
04 - Substitute turkey sausage or meatless crumbles for pork, or try a different shredded cheese for variety.
05 - Toast hash browns briefly in a skillet for deeper flavor before assembling.
