Step-by-Step Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2️⃣ Cook the Sausage:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Break it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed and set aside.
3️⃣ Prepare the Gravy:
In a small saucepan, whisk together the gravy mix and 2 cups of milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and creamy (about 3–5 minutes). Remove from heat.
4️⃣ Assemble the Base:
Cut each biscuit into quarters and scatter them evenly across the bottom of your greased baking dish. Top with the cooked sausage, then layer on the frozen hashbrowns.
5️⃣ Pour the Gravy:
Evenly pour the prepared sausage gravy over the top of the casserole, letting it soak into the layers.
6️⃣ Add the Cheese:
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously across the top.
7️⃣ Bake the Casserole:
Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until the biscuits are cooked through and the top is golden and bubbly. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes.
8️⃣ Cool Slightly & Serve:
Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm—and watch it disappear fast!
Pro Tips for Casserole Success:
- No thawing needed: Frozen hashbrowns go straight in—no need to thaw!
- Add eggs: Want even more protein? Beat 4 eggs and pour over the hashbrowns before baking.
