Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

• Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.

Step 2: Cook the Sausage

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage, breaking it into crumbles, until browned (5-7 minutes).

• Do not drain the fat—it’s essential for the gravy!

Step 3: Make the Gravy

• Sprinkle flour over the sausage and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

• Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.

• Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes (if using).

• Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens (5-7 minutes).

Step 4: Assemble the Casserole

• Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces and spread them evenly in the baking dish.

• Pour the sausage gravy over the biscuits.

• Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top.

Step 5: Bake

• Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and cooked through.

• If desired, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with parsley before serving.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy!

• Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

• Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
