Step-by-Step Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat & Prep:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2️⃣ Brown the Sausage:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and crumbled. Do not drain all the fat—leave about 1 tablespoon for the gravy.
3️⃣ Make the Gravy:
Sprinkle flour over the cooked sausage and stir for 1 minute. Slowly add milk, whisking constantly. Add garlic powder, pepper, and a pinch of salt. Simmer for 3–5 minutes until thick and creamy.
4️⃣ Cut the Biscuits:
Cut each biscuit into quarters and scatter evenly in the baking dish.
5️⃣ Layer It Up:
Top the biscuits with thawed hashbrowns, then pour sausage gravy over the top. Sprinkle evenly with shredded cheddar cheese.
6️⃣ Bake Until Golden:
Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the biscuits are cooked through and the top is bubbly and golden.
7️⃣ Garnish & Serve:
Sprinkle with chopped chives or parsley if desired. Serve warm and watch it disappear!

FAQ – Morning Meal Must-Knows:
Can I make this ahead?
Yes! Assemble the night before, cover, refrigerate, and bake in the morning. Add 5–10 extra minutes to baking time.
Can I use homemade gravy?
Absolutely! If you’ve got a go-to gravy recipe, feel free to swap it in.
Can I add eggs?
Yes! Beat 4–6 eggs and pour over the biscuit layer before adding gravy for a more eggy, breakfast strata vibe.
Common Problems & Fixes:
Biscuits undercooked?
Make sure to bake uncovered and spread the ingredients evenly. If needed, cover with foil halfway through to prevent over-browning while the inside finishes.
Too runny?
Your gravy might be too thin—make sure it’s thickened before pouring.
Cheese not melted?
Add cheese during the last 15 minutes of baking for perfect meltiness.
Flavor Variations to Try:
- Spicy Kick: Use hot sausage or add diced jalapeños to the gravy.
- Southern Comfort: Add pimento cheese on top before baking.
- Veggie Boost: Toss in sautéed peppers, onions, or spinach between layers.
