Biscuit & Gravy Casserole
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Make the Sausage Gravy:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbled. Do not drain the grease unless there’s an excessive amount.
- Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir until the sausage is well coated.
- Gradually whisk in the milk and cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Remove from heat.
- Prepare the Casserole:
- Cut the biscuits into quarters and place half of them in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Pour half of the sausage gravy evenly over the biscuit pieces.
- Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Layer Again:
- Add the remaining biscuit pieces on top, followed by the rest of the gravy and cheese.
- Bake:
- Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and cooked through. You may need to cover the dish with aluminum foil during the last 10 minutes to prevent over-browning.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
