**Biscuits & Gravy Breakfast Casserole** Ingredients: For the Biscuits: * 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuits (like Pillsbury Grands) * 2 tablespoons melted butter * 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder * 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley For the Gravy: * 1 pound breakfast sausage (pork or turkey) * 1/4 cup all-purpose flour * 3 cups whole milk * Salt and pepper to taste Instructions: 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. 1. Prepare the Biscuits:Open the can of refrigerated biscuits and separate them. Cut each biscuit into quarters. In a mixing bowl, toss the biscuit pieces with melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley until evenly coated. Arrange the coated biscuit pieces in the prepared baking dish. 1. Prepare the Gravy:In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through. Sprinkle the cooked sausage with flour, stirring constantly for about 1 minute to cook off the raw flour taste. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Continue cooking and stirring until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 1. Assemble the Casserole:Pour the prepared gravy evenly over the biscuit pieces in the baking dish, making sure all the biscuits are covered. Use a spatula to gently mix the biscuits and gravy together, ensuring the biscuits are coated.
