SAUSAGE AND GRAVY BREAKFAST CASSEROLE
This breakfast casserole is perfect for lazy Sunday mornings with the family and it’s even better when doubled for large groups. Bonus: the recipe can be assembled the night before for practically no morning prep!
The combination of the biscuits, sausage, gravy eggs and cheese is amazing. If you choose to prepare this the night before, you will need to increase the cooking time by about 20 minutes. (Keep your eye on it, you want to make sure the biscuits cook all the way and the eggs set completely. If you find your casserole is getting too brown for your taste, cover with a foil tent to keep it from browning too much more.
