- 2 cups milk

- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
Instructions

Tips & Variations
- Vegetarian option: Substitute the sausage with a plant-based alternative or sautéed mushrooms for a meaty texture without the meat.
- Spice it up: Add diced jalapeños or hot sauce to the gravy for an extra kick.
- Time-saver: Use pre-made gravy from the store if you’re in a hurry.
- Extra veggies: Mix in sautéed bell peppers and onions with the hashbrowns for added nutrition and flavor.
- Cheese variations: Try pepper jack for spice or a mixture of cheddar and mozzarella for extra meltiness.
- Make ahead: Prepare the gravy and cook the sausage the night before, then assemble and bake in the morning.
Serving Suggestions
This hearty casserole stands on its own as a complete meal, but a side of fresh fruit provides a nice contrast to the richness. Try serving with a bowl of mixed berries or sliced melon for a refreshing balance.
For a special brunch, pair with a simple green salad dressed with a light vinaigrette and offer mimosas or a spicy Bloody Mary for the adults at the table.
Notes
- Storage: Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
- Doneness test: The biscuits should be golden brown on top and cooked through in the center.
- Thawing tip: For best results, thaw hashbrowns completely and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
FAQs
Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of canned?
Absolutely! Homemade biscuit dough works wonderfully in this recipe and adds a personal touch. Just prepare your favorite biscuit recipe and cut it into small pieces before adding to the casserole.
Can I make this the night before?
Yes, you can assemble everything except the biscuits the night before. Add the biscuit pieces just before baking in the morning for best results.
What if my gravy is too thick or thin?
If your gravy is too thick, add a splash more milk. If it’s too thin, let it simmer longer or add a small amount of flour mixed with cold water.
Can I freeze this casserole?
While you can freeze it, the texture of the biscuits may change upon thawing. For best results, freeze the gravy and assemble with fresh ingredients when ready to bake.
