Ingredients:

• 1 (10 oz) can refrigerated biscuit dough (e.g., Pillsbury Grands!)

• 1 lb bulk pork sausage

• 1½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

• 6 large eggs

• ½ cup milk

• Salt and ground black pepper, to taste

• 1½ cups cold water

• 1 (1.5 oz) package pork gravy mix

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

2. Prepare the biscuit base: Line the bottom of the prepared baking dish with biscuit dough.

3. Cook the sausage: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook and stir the sausage until browned and crumbly, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease. Scatter the cooked sausage over the biscuit layer and top with 1 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese.

4. Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the cheese layer.

5. Make the gravy: In a saucepan, mix the gravy mix with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer until the gravy thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes. Pour the prepared gravy over the egg layer.

6. Add the final cheese layer: Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of shredded Cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.

7. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake until the eggs are set and the cheese is bubbling, about 30 minutes.

8. Serve:Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
