- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it up into crumbles. Cook for about 8 minutes or until browned and no pink remains.
- Drain excess grease and set aside.
3. Build the Base Layer
- Spread frozen hashbrowns evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish.
- Top with the cooked sausage, spreading it to cover the hashbrowns completely.
4. Prepare the Gravy
- In a medium bowl, whisk together gravy mix + 2 cups milk until smooth (about 30 seconds).
- Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Pour evenly over the sausage and hashbrown layer, letting it seep through.
5. Add Cheese and Biscuits
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the entire surface of the casserole.
- Cut each biscuit into quarters and distribute across the top of the dish, leaving small gaps between each piece for expansion.
6. Bake
- Place the casserole on the middle oven rack and bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes.
- Biscuits should be golden brown and spring back when lightly touched. Cheese should be fully melted and bubbly around the edges.
- If biscuits brown too quickly, tent loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes.
7. Rest and Serve
- Let casserole rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This helps the gravy settle and makes serving easier.
- Serve hot with your favorite hot sauce, fruit, or a cup of coffee!
Tips & Variations
- Add veggies: Try sautéed bell peppers, onions, or spinach for extra color and nutrition.
- Spicy twist: Use hot sausage and pepper jack cheese for a kick.
- Make ahead: Assemble the casserole the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake fresh in the morning, adding 5–10 minutes to the bake time.
