Equipment

  • 1 large skillet
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 baking dish (9x13 inches)
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 set measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 spoon or spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough About 16 ounces.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Break the sausage into small pieces as it cooks.
  • Once the sausage is cooked, sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir well. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  • Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
  • In a mixing bowl, cut the biscuit dough into quarters and gently mix in half of the shredded cheese.
  • Pour the sausage gravy mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread the biscuit dough pieces evenly over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
  • Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.
