Ingredients
– 1 lb (approximately 450 g) ground pork sausage
– 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
– 1/4 cup (56 g) butter
– 1/4 cup (30 g) flour
– 2 cups (480 ml) milk
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– One 8-count tube of refrigerated biscuits cut into quarters
– 6 large eggs
– 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream
– 2 cups (about 226 g) shredded Colby Jack or cheddar cheese
Instructions
1-First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish to avoid sticking.
2-Brown the 1 lb of ground pork sausage with 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes in a skillet until fully cooked, then set aside half a cup for the gravy.
3-In a separate pan, melt 1/4 cup butter, whisk in 1/4 cup flour, then gradually add 2 cups milk along with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir until thickened to create the gravy, and mix in the reserved sausage.
4-Layer the quartered refrigerated biscuits in the prepared dish, top with the cooked sausage and 1 cup of shredded cheese, then pour the egg mixture (whisk 6 large eggs with 1/4 cup heavy cream) over it.
5-Finally, cover with the prepared gravy and the remaining 1 cup of cheese, then bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes until the casserole is puffed, set, and lightly browned.

🥄 Don’t overcook the gravy – it should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon but still pourable for even distribution
🧀 Use room temperature eggs and cream for better incorporation and more even baking throughout the casserole
⏰ Can be assembled the night before – cover and refrigerate, then add 10-15 minutes to the baking time when cooking from cold
