Sausage Gravy Breakfast Casserole

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for a beautifully baked casserole.

2. Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until it’s thoroughly browned and crumbled. Drain any excess grease.

3. Warm the Gravy: Add the can of sausage gravy to the cooked sausage, stirring until the mixture is warm. This combo creates a rich, flavorful base for your casserole.

4. Prepare the Hash Browns: Layer the hash browns evenly in the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish. This layer will absorb the flavors of the casserole and add a satisfying texture.

5. Layer the Casserole: Spoon a layer of the sausage and gravy mixture over the hash browns. Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar cheese on top. Repeat with the remaining gravy and another layer of cheese.

6. Add the Egg Mixture: Whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the layers in the baking dish, ensuring it seeps into the layers.

7. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking for another 20-30 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.
